I want to install KDE but I can't!! When I mark kde-full in synaptic to install it returns this error

kde-full:
 Depends: kde-plasma-desktop but it is not going to be installed
  Depends: kde-plasma-netbook but it is not going to be installed
  Depends: kdeartwork but it is not going to be installed
  Depends: kdeedu but it is not going to be installed
  Depends: kdepim but it is not going to be installed
  Depends: kdeplasma-addons but it is not going to be installed
  Recommends: kde-standard but it is not going to be installed
  Recommends: kdesdk but it is not going to be installed
  Recommends: kdewebdev but it is not going to be installed

I have these packages in synaptic but I think they are newer version of them! Is it the point? What should I do? How do I get lower version of packages? Or how to get index of lower version of packages?

Use the following command in terminal:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

and then choose one of these:

  1. Only KDE core, like themes, aero, toolbar and other KDE viewes this recommended (247 Mb):

    sudo apt-get install kde-standard -y

    OR

  2. The following will install the full Kubuntu system. Of course, you don't need this, because this is a full operating system (1 Gb):

    sudo apt-get install kubuntu-full -y

I Think you're using a local repository and your maintainer could not managed to satisfy unmet dependency prevention in whole repository. This occurs usually when maintainer tries to add some new stuff without considering dependencies... So, whole dependency system become invalid.
