new attempt, using package manager

this is a modified mepis system, part Ubuntu dapper packages and new kernel 
and part debian packages

advised the package manager to use Debian stable packages
now it will agree to install some of the kaa stuff

but i get stuck on kaa-base
Preparing to replace python-kaa-base 0.1.3-1 (using 
python-kaa-base_0.1.3-1_i386.deb) ...

existing kaa-base-0.1.2 was hand installed
now i am stuck while trying to install kaa-base 0.1.3-1

i'm not sure what alterations to make to the python install
is it looking for a debian stable python and not a ubuntu numbered python?

still looking for freevo nirvana
