Wow. Okay, that's a small packaging bug with extreme results. As far as I can see, some of the most important KDE parts in kubuntu-ppa repository have not been updated yet to 4.5.3. The remaining packages with version 4.5.2 have dependencies and need the other packages to be in version 4.5.2 as well. So kpackagekit decides, to make the update work, to remove the packages that are still version 4.5.2.

This includes essential ones a seen in the screenshot or below.

For example in the Packages file for 64-bit
http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-amd64/Packages

-------------------
Package: kdelibs-bin
Source: kde4libs
Priority: optional
Section: libs
Installed-Size: 968
Maintainer: Kubuntu Developers <email address hidden>
Architecture: amd64
Version: 4:4.5.2a-0ubuntu1~ppa2
-------------------

same for kdelibs5 and libkdecore5 and many more.
