1. Use apt or yum. It's easier, really.
2. The conflicts lines are pretty self-explanatory (IMO). You need to
also upgrade kdeaddons kdeartwork kdebase (at the same time) if you're
going to manually try to upgrade kdelibs. You can alternatively,
rpm -e kdeaddons kdeartwork kdebase
to avoid the conflict, and the install/upgrade them later.
