Did you upgrade KDE from the kubuntu repository?

My guess is that before you upgraded KDE, you did have pilot-link installed in 
the dreaded bad combo that causes data loss.  When you upgraded KDE some 
dependency told apt to remove the incorrect version of pilot-link, but failed 
to replace it with the correct version.  

I am sorry, but the correct version combination escapes my memory right now, 
but a quick search through this list's archives should tell you.  Adriaan? 
Jason?

Try just installing pilot-link before you go through everything else.
