You could force the install by locating the libfam0c102 and libfam0 .deb
files and running the command:

    dpkg --install --force-overwrite <.deb files>
    apt-get install kdebase-dev

Afterwards, when your compilation is finished, you can restore your
system to its previous state by issuing the commands:

    apt-get remove libfam0c102 libfam0 kdebase-dev 
    apt-get install --reinstall libgamin0
