Ok I'd remove update prpm, suse-people, security-prpm, gnome2( because it 
doesn't exist on the apt mirrors anymore), mozilla (because usr-local-bin 
will replace it), suser-k & t, mantel-kernel, wine (I don't think thats 
offered anymore either). You also had usr-local-bin in sources.list(3rd line 
under kde)

These are wrong.. funktronics and  usr-local-bin are in your sources.list

rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/8.2-i386 update kde security 
base xfree86 mozilla extra usr-local-bin funktronics packman packman-i686

Just replace the part you quoted, with this section...

rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/8.2-i386 update kde security 
base xfree86 mozilla extra usr-local-bin funktronics packman packman-i686


run apt-get update and then use synaptic. IMHO don't use apt-get upgrade 
because there are some packages that I can't upgrade on my system or because 
they'll remove packages you might need. Just upgrade a bit at a time(all of 
gnome, then kde ...)
HTH
