Anyway, I am now having problems. When I try to do the dist-upgrade, it keeps balking on me. Now my kde install is all screwed up.

Your problem seems to be that these three packages have moved around
some files and now conflict with each other's old versions.
I suggest you use dpkg to force them to cooperate:
cd /var/cache/apt/archives
dpkg --force-overwrite -i kdebase_4%3a2.2.2-14_i386.deb konqueror_4%3a2.2.2-14_i386.deb konsole_4%3a2.2.2-14_i386.deb
or you can use apt to remove them all and then install them again.
