The "broken pipe" results from /usr/bin/dcop being found in two
different debs, and dpkg is complaining about it.
If you want to continue, one way to force the install would be:
cd /var/cache/apt/archives
dpkg --force-overwrite -i kdelibs-dcop_4%3a3.1.0+rc6+kl-3_i386.deb
dpkg --force-overwrite -i libkdefx4_4%3a3.1.0+rc6+kl-3_i386.deb
and then continue with the apt-get install.
