When did the error occur? After the first, second or third command? What is the contents of the Variable $KDE_PACKAGES, written out on the second line? Are the kde programs correctly detected?

Isn't there a more detailed error message e.g. about dependencies thus you can not delete some packages? Can you remove the packages from $KDE_PACKAGES one by one on commandline? You might have to investigate a bit by yourself.
