1.  Use apt or yum.  It's easier, really.
2.  The conflicts lines are pretty self-explanatory (IMO).  You need to 
also upgrade kdeaddons kdeartwork kdebase (at the same time) if you're 
going to manually try to upgrade kdelibs.  You can alternatively,
rpm -e kdeaddons kdeartwork kdebase
to avoid the conflict, and the install/upgrade them later.
