Nothing funny here. The packages depend on one of two packages, for example
koffice-common depends on kdebase3-ssl (>= 3.0.7-3) | kdebase3 (>= 3.0.7-3); however:koffice-common needs one of kdebase3-ssl or kdebase3. Since you try to remove kdebase3-ssl, dpkg looks if the other one is perhaps installed (which is not a sign of superior intelligence, because these two packages are conflicting and therefore only one of them can be installed at a time, but dpkg doesn't know this at this point.
Package kdebase3-ssl is to be removed.
Package kdebase3 is not installed.
This isn't the case, so it refuses to remove kdebase3-ssl.
If you really want to remove it (are you sure of this?), you need to use force:
sudo dpkg -r --force-depends kdebase3-ssl.
