You can go with the route the other guy mentioned, or you could do
what I do at times.
First step, find out what's installed.
rpm -qa | grep kdelibs
>From that output, then uninstall those RPMS.
rpm -e kdelibs-<finish the syntax>
After it's done removing those packages, you don't have that crazy
mess about "failed dependencies" since you no long have them.
You can then do your rpm -ivh kdelib*.rpm to install your software.
I would say this more of a boarder line expect move. So if you're not
comfortable with removing something like sound and devel-sound packages,
the I would not go with this. But I will say I've had good success with
doing that.
Hope that was helpful.

| It's a perfect vicious circle - you can't install a until b is present, but b
| requires c, which needs a. The only way I can see to install this lot is for
| something, somewhere along the line, to be forced to install. Which is
| supposed to be a Bad Thing (tm). Any guesses on which one to force first? My
| guess is kdelibs, but that's just because it has the shortest name ...
|
| Maybe there is something to this Debian stuff after all ...
