Whenever I have a wholesale upgrade of KDE to do, I restart with no X*
(just the six VTs) and do the upgrade from there. Much safer.
* I keep a no-X startup profile in grub.conf. It omits the extra things
that KDE needs, like HAL and consolekit, and includes gpm. Occasionally
handy, and well worth the effort of maintaining grub.conf.
