I too experienced something very similar. I had selected to remove cupsys-common because of problems that were created after my last upgrade. When I clicked the button to remove, a ton of KDE packages were removed without so much as any confirmation. WOW... left me with a TOTALLY useless kubuntu system. THANK GOODNESS I had just made a dd backup of my system and was able to boot off the alternate disk. This sure does not boost any confidence in the adept package system.
