upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 kde3.5 remix

[katoiam]

I have just upgraded to 9.04 from 8.04, im still not set on kde4 though 4.3 is looking a lot better (though uses too many resources for my old laptop!!) so I have been waiting to upgrade after redaing about the remix I though it was the best of both world. So I went for it, how ever after under going the whole experience I have kde4 fine but when installing kde3.5 I get this :
Errors were encountered while processing:
kdebase-kde3
kde-guidance-powermanager-kde3
kde-guidance-kde3
kdebase-runtime-data-common-kde3
ksmserver-kde3
konqueror-kde3
konq-plugins-kde3
konqueror-nsplugins-kde3
kmplayer-konq-plugins-kde3
Ive tried running aptitude Ive tried sudo apt-get -f install, Ive even tried sudo dpkg --configure -a and nothing works!!!! Iam in kde3.5 now but it looks really old I only have plastic window decoration!
It all feels a bit like I have gone back in time a bit!
can any one help me work out how to finish the install and why my kde3 seems to have gone back in time
thanks
ciao
