This indicates that the geany-plugin-scope package in Knoppix needs to be updated to take account of the updated geany-plugins-common. I don't really know how Knoppix derives its packages from Debian but sometimes this used to happen to me when I used testing when pacakges depending on one another were not transitioned from unstable at the same time.
So, this is a problem at Knoppix's end, there isn't much the Geany developers can do about it.
In terms of checking for 'breakage' potential, you can check the 'Depends' line for each package using your favourite APT tool and compare it with the version of the package you want to install.
I don't know why you consider my helping you 'posturing'. I tend to be quite grateful for anyone offering me help with my computer problems online. As for condescendment, I found your response to my initial post to have quite that air about it.
I hope this helps anyway.

Dear James :) You said: ... you can check the 'Depends' line... I do it another way. I usually use gdebi package in GUI mode to find the dependency issues.
You said: ... this is a problem at Knoppix's end :) Did I say it wasn't?! When I wrote I was just asking for a solution, which brings us back to square one. :)
You said: ... why you consider my helping you 'posturing'... Did I _say_ that!? :) It is your perception! :) It was a general, passing observation for 'me'!
You said: ... As for condescendment, I found your response to my initial post to have quite that air about it... Was it condescension?! I just re-stated your very words in a slightly different form, actually supported you if you felt you were at all condescending (I replaced the word with 'over-assertive'), and just told the truth in a matter of fact form :) We colour our own reality!
Everything is just about the "I", think about this. There is a word called 'empathy'. I've applied it a lot and a lot deeply to arrive here :)
This is a forum for Geany users, so let us keep the posts reflecting the forum policy as such, and not dwell on it.
Just ignore :) Regards, Rajib Bandopadhyay
