You must also make sure that the versions match. Unfortunately, this is non-trivial, since a) the KOffice version numbers don't match the version of KDE that they work with, and b) some packagers do weird things with version numbers. If you post details of the distribution that you're using, someone here might be able to help you find the appropriate packages. You might also like to ask on a list appropriate for your distribution.
