I'm trying to upgrade my Kubuntu version; but I can't get update-notifier-kde to run. Any one know how to fix this?

[LiquidDeath@Hydross ~]$ update-notifier-kde -d

Working backward -- Python 2.6.2 is required, also gcc4.3.3 before that. However, it appears the notification wants a downgrade!

Go to

and follow instructions, my friend.
