All I know is that I looked high and low for a way to completely remove everything kde, and could not find it. I came up with this brute force method, and it worked for me. Bottomline, as good as apt/dpkg is, remove is *not* the same as purge, and -- even then -- some things remain, and interfere with the reinstall. I strongly urge you to remove everything kde, and start over -- clean. For those incomplete dpkg -l entries, you can do a creative apt-cache search, and figure it out . . .
