IIUC, you tried to install the Debian packages on Knoppix. Even if a distribution is Debian-based doesn't mean any Debian package will work seamlessly on it. Using a package not specifically crafted for your very distribution is a risky bet if you don't know your package manager *very* well. It might work, but it also might not (e.g. if versions of dependencies differ).
Knoppix is Debian, and uses its repositories. You could check it yourself from /etc/apt/sources.lists . The problem is that it mixes up different stages, Stable, Testing, Experimental, etc., which creates these issues. The issue is with Debian package, as my snapshots will show. I use both Debian and Knoppix. Unfortunately, my Debian is Lenny, and Scope does not have a Lenny version. Therefore, I am compelled to use Knoppix 7.2 as it was Knoppix that introduced me to Geany the first time. :)
I also think I understood you manually installed the packages rather than adding a repository...
No, I tried, but that didn't work because of compatibility issue. I don't force packages.
In the end, I thank you for responding to my email. I will try to install Geany and plugins via sources.
