Sound like an rpm locking bug. Please follow the instructions at
http://rpm.org/hintskinks/repairdb/ to fix your rpm database. In a
nutshell:

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__*
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 rpm --rebuilddb
(wait and don't get scared about a scary error message, see link above)

After fixing the rpm database run
apt-get update
apt-get --reinstall install redhat-artwork
apt-get dist-upgrade

There are some packages in kde-redhat that should be
installed/upgraded simultaneously, therefore use dist-upgrade. IMHO
dist-upgrade should be the normal operation anyhow.
