the uninstall of kdelibs-data fails with the same error (see below). My intuition is telling me "abort!". could you describe how to back the trinity install out ?
$sudo apt-get remove kdelibs-data [sudo] password for bloring: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Well, you need to force dpkg to remove kdelibs-data and kdelibs4c2a - You can't use apt-get for situations like these, you have to use dpkg :(
