[Bug 75794] can't install k3d on Edgy

[TrioTorus]

Public bug reported:

When trying to install k3d for the first time, the dependancies seemed
to install fine. On the k3d package itself I got an error. I can't
reproduce the exact output then, because I don't seem to be able to
uninstall k3d either. Here is the output when trying to reinstall k3b:

~ $sudo apt-get install k3d
