The message means exactly what it says---"you don't have enough free space
in /var/cache/apt/archives to hold all the debs".  Apt holds all of its
downloaded .deb files in /var/cache/apt, and you don't enough room to fit
kde there. When I got this on my machine, it was because my /var partition
was too small, so I moved apt's cache onto another partition like so:

mv /var/cache/apt/archives /home/debarchives
ln -s /home/debarchives /var/cache/apt/archives

HTH,

Cameron.
