I don't know about your specific library problems but this could have
been avoided by using apt-get.
You can install kde2 on potato by putting -
deb http://kde.rap.ucar.edu potato main crypto optional qt1apps
in your /etc/apt/sources.list and running -
# apt-get update
# apt-get install task-kde
Take a look at the man page for apt-get. There is also tons of entries
in the list archives about kde.
