The package: kde is a metapackage that pulls in the kitchen sink, meaning ALL of kde, which of course, includes kdm, so having both on the same apt-get is a bit redundant. Perhaps a better solution would to install kde-core, also make sure you to the apt-get update first so it get's the proper information from the mirror. After that you can just install the applications you're interested in. The error mentioned sounds to me like a mirror non properly in sync.
