Through an over abundance of experimentation with Ubuntu 13.04, 12.02.1, 12.04.2, 12.10, 13.10 and installing KDE on anything that moves...some things have changed in the backports department section of Kubuntu.
I have installed 4.10.2 on 12.04 with Ultimate Edition 3.4 and 3.4 lite without having to apt-get update/apt-get dist-upgrade, but I have not had a fun time getting permissions worked out and these were both rather heavy in tuning to get to work. One will quickly find after doing an install that they can not load into the KDE environment with a 12.04 base without having to do a little work. It is easier to do apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade at this point, but your sources need to be managed, or you need to be prepared to deal with problems from those sources, and of course, be prepared to reinstall anyways. Basically you need to be at 12.04.2 for 4.10.2 to go smoother, but with 13.04 being released, and Kubuntu being at 4.10, I am anxiously awaiting to see what will happen with 4.10.3 on Ubuntu.
KDE 4.10.3 is available on Debian experimental right now.
Wallpapers, plasmoids reset, but everything is up and running.
