Can you post/upload the exact command you used (how did you manage to 
remove tha package), what was the output you got and what's in your 
"sources.list"?

In the event there's something wrong, filling a bug report won't harm: if 
you are between a packaging transition (update) the bug will be discarded 
and you'll only lose a bit of time :-). I would open agaisnt the 
transitional package "kdebase-runtime".
