That makes sense; you will need to have only the repositories for Karmic listed in your sources.list file. For example: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu karmic main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu karmic main Remove all references to Intrepid or Jaunty.
