You must not have reinstalled the exact same set of package then. Or
maybe kdebase was not properly installed on your system the first time.
I uninstalled all the kde packages, cleaned up and reinstalled the
exact same set of packages and it still did not work. So i investigated
a bit more and found the kcmkonq.desktop file. It contained a reference
to kcontrol/file-manager.html which was not installed on my system. So I
searched for it on the Debian site and found that it was provided by
kdebase. So I installed kdebase and this solved the problem.
Except that kdebase recommends kdewallpapers, kscreensaver and
kdebase-audiolibs (plus a few others) which I definitely do not want to
install on my system (why would I?). So I am now in recommends~depends
hell in dselect.
Btw, I entered a bug report about this problem (I mention it here to
avoid duplicate bug reports). I don't know yet the bug number but the
subject is 'konqueror depends on kdebase...'.
I'm sure this will be resolved in due time.
