The "Kitchen Sink" approach will almost ALWAYS get you in trouble.  The 
more unneeded packages you try to install, the more dependency issues you 
will have.

But, you have other specific problems.

I recommend that for starters that you only Upgrade to one version of db4:

	db4-4.0.14-20.i386.rpm
	db4-4.1.25-14.i386.rpm

The newer one is probably the correct choice.  If you need both of them, 
then you will need to first Upgrade with the older one and then INSTALL the 
newer one with the: "--replacefiles" option.  You can NOT upgrade with two 
different versions of the same package.

And that you Upgrade to the required version 3.3.1 of Qt:

	qt-3.1.1-6.i386.rpm
	qt-devel-3.1.1-6.i386.rpm

These are NOT 3.3.1!!!!  Where did you get them?

You also have a lot of development packages.  Do you normally build KDE 
applications from source?  Do you do Qt development?  Do you write KDE 
programs with languages other than C/C++.  Specifically, do you write 
Python programs that use KDE widgets?

If NOT, then you probably need ONLY these, and whatever RedHat dependencies 
are needed to support them:

	arts-1.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm
	kdemultimedia-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm
	kdenetwork-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm         	           	
	kdepim-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm
	kdetoys-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm
	kdeutils-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm
	qt-3.3.1-0.2.i386.rpm
	quanta-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm
	kdeaccessibility-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm            		
	kdeaddons-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm
	kdeadmin-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm
	kdeartwork-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm            	
	kdeartwork-icons-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm
	kdebase-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm
	kdeedu-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm
	kdegames-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm
	kdegraphics-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm
	kdelibs-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm

If you have older versions of other KDE packages, you may need to uninstall 
them.

You probably will need some of this junk, and probably some other stuff:

	libieee1284-0.2.8-1.i386.rpm
	libmusicbrainz-2.0.2-5.i386.rpm
	libxml2-2.6.6-3.i386.rpm
	lm_sensors-2.8.1-1.i386.rpm
	redhat-artwork-0.93-1.i386.rpm            	
	redhat-menus-0.40-1asp.noarch.rpm
	sip-3.10-0.1.i386.rpm
	taglib-1.0-0.1.i386.rpm
	wireless-tools-26-1.i386.rpm
         db4-4.1.25-14.i386.rpm
