Okay, I missed this second link, which contains good information, such as:

Now I see two possible problems: 1) the libkdecore.so.4 file, which I
still suspect, so I really would encourage you to try the things I
suggested earlier which you thought had no bearing on your problem. 2)
Apparently you have your system set up to ask you questions about setup
during installation from an X interface rather than a text interface;
I'd HIGHLY recommend you change that to just using plain old Dialog.
Highly. I would try going into an xterm within X, and as your normal
user who's logged into X, running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure debconf" and
selecting "Dialog". (This assumes you've configured your user to have
sufficient sudo capabilities; if not, you'll have to figure out some
other way to give root access to your X session, such as xhost
<shudder>.) But the more serious problem, from what I can see, is the
libkdecore file.
