Yes. And its one that I gave a work-around for in the guide...

No. Nothing got installed. If apt/rpm runs into conflicts like that, rather 
than hosing your system, it installs nothing.

Yes.

There's no reason to wipe your drive.

Yes.

No.

Re-read my doc. Take note of the section where it tells you to comment out the 
kde-redhat entries in /etc/apt/sources.list. There's also a sequence of 
apt-get installs that'll resolve those conflicts and get KDE 3.2 installed, 
which has been covered on this list and the kde-redhat list several times 
over.
