Upgrade challenges, kubuntu, kde

I'm trying to upgrade kde on my kubuntu box.

cathyn@TheHammer:~$ cat /etc/issue.net
Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS

and:

cathyn@TheHammer:~$ kded --version
Qt: 3.3.8b
KDE: 3.5.10
KDE Daemon: $Id: kded.cpp 711061 2007-09-11 09:42:51Z tpatzig $


Trying a command I found here, I get:

cathyn@TheHammer:~$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting kubuntu-desktop instead of kubuntu-kde4-desktop
kubuntu-desktop is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.



It looks like I'm running KDE 3.5.10, which kubuntu currently thinks is the latest version. Do I need to add something to my sources? Is there something else I'm missing? If the answer to either of these is "Yes", what do I need to add, or what am I missing.

Thanks in advance!

Also, after having read the Kubuntu page on adding repositories (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu) I checked my Software Sources and found the recommended repository (http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu lucid main) is already in place.
