Yesterday a new kdelibs-data 4:3.4.2-1 became available that meets the 
dependencies of older kdelibs4, but breaks when installed with them.  So, you 
need to downgrade kdelibs-data:

to get your current version of kdelibs 4, use this:
# dpkg -s kdelibs4 | grep Version

then, find the .deb for the same version of kdelibs-data and install it with
# dpkg -i kdelibs-data_$VERSION_$ARCH.deb

(Replacing $VERSION and $ARCH with the appropriate values, of course.)
