    have you tried "apt-get -f install" ?

    I think it fails because you have packages that you installed from other
    (different) sources. You could try to remove all of KDE with something like
    'apt-get remove kde' and then installing KDE from packages from one source.

    I have fixed this type of problem in the past by making fake packages and then
    installing the real ones over the fake ones. I used the "equivs" package for
    this. Of course you will probably lose access to KDE until you are finished.

    One other thing you could try is compiling your own kdelibs4 package and
    installing it as a Debian package, but you would need to make sure than when
    you install it (do this in the configure step) that everything will go where
    it is supposed to go, rather than to someplace in /usr/local/
