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.
