I would advise against using that package in its current form. If you
would like to bring it up to date, I would suggest copying it to a
repository that you control. After that, I would be happy to delete it
from ours. We haven't used that package in over a year, and have no
future plans to maintain it; I left it up mostly to serve as a
starting point in case someone wanted to pick it up. The "kni" package
that the error refers to is the library provided by the manufacturer
(Neuronics); the katana450 package was just a wrapper around that. But
again, this will take nontrivial time to make it usable again.
