Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  kubuntu-desktop: Depends: xorg but it is not going to be installed

Ok when you upgrade with cd you need to install xorg xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-video-all and the libgl1-mesa packages. you will notice the held back packages have xorg in it among alot of python apps im thinking somewhere around 33 held back packages please go ahead and install them. than you should beable to install ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu/edubuntu-desktop packages as you wish to. i run into this every time i upgrade from cd but the cd should install those things so we are gonna leave this a bug. i will bring this bug up to the apt guys and see what they think. Thank you for reporting this bug.
