    You could make a fake kdeaddons package with the "equivs" package, install it
    over the problem kdeaddons package, then remove it. I have done that in
    order to get out of problems like this one. That is if you cannot reinstall
    and remove it as requested.

    Here are some uri's for sarge source debs:

    deb-src ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main contrib
    non-free

    You can change the "sarge" to woody or sid or whatever is on your system and
    they should work.
