Yes, you should use dpkg --purge --force package_to_remove. You can't
reliably do an update for kde from the official kde packages to the
unofficial kde packages found on at kde.org. The packager Ralph Nolden
recommends that you remove stuff before installing the new stuff.
Familiarize yourself with dpkg, especially the force, since it will
remove stuff even if there are dependencies. You may have to do it
package by package in the worst case, but hopefully, you can remove the
few offending ones, and the use apt-get --purge remove (the other
packages) which should help automate things.
