Thanks. I did just now finish installing it a different way; I downloaded it and used dpkg. The average user (referred to in the original post) would never have figured it out. Which is my point. I use kubuntu only on the desktop, as far as I know I have non-free installed, and in fact I downloaded it with kpackagekit, but kpackagekit wouldn't install it. Again, thanks.
