You might be well out of luck with Knoppix, 32 bit packages and the trend is to 64 bit only.
Guessing the krita files come from 'buntu 18.04, the last I can find for 32 bit and that it is what you get in Knoppix.
For a Krita 5.0.2 appimage (64 bit) that is using gmic version 3.0.0. The current stable is 3.0.2 (3.0.1 pulled as having 'critical error') ..big changes since gmic 3.0.0 As far as I can see, no Krita package from gmic.org after that.
The 'testing' section (aka community) now incorporated into the code, no longer the separate updatexxx.gmic file, although a gmic 'update' does download one.
A change in the default way gmic is compiled from a static (single file) to dynamic. So for Gimp now two files the plugin gmic_gimp_qt + a library file libgmic.so.4 ... and that will baffle a few linux newbies.
Add that to Krita 5 now building gmic in: usr/lib/kritaplugins/krita_gmic_qt.so It is going to be up to the Krita developers to use their update function somehow. It is not going to be very clever if the whole of krita updates just for a new gmic filter.
Lets hope Gimp never goes that way.
