I have recognized this problem too, but haven't got a solution only a
workaround. Rename the packages in /etc/setup/installed.db. Please note that
these packages are obsolate for kde3. See more notes below.

Yes. See the new detailed instructions page on
http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/kde3/compiling.php

May be this helps. If you encounters any problem with this let me know.
