Where do you have the package kdat from? It seems you are running Debian 
Sarge, but try to install kdat from a newer version of Debian (at least 
lenny aka testing as only that contains KDE 3.5.7) which needs newer 
versions of some packages than you have. I suggest removing that package 
completely with aptitude purge kdat, before trying to install the correct 
version of the package for Debian Sarge[1]. After removing it, you should 
be able to safely install the X server and KDE core stuff by using 
aptitude install xserver-xorg kde-core[1].

The kdat package is available for Sarge[2]. Thus on a Debian Sarge a 
aptitude install kdat should be able to install it.

Could you please post the output

- cat /etc/debian_version

- cat /etc/apt/sources.list

- apt-cache policy kdat

If you have sarge or oldstable as Debian release in your sources 
list, /etc/debian_version shows 3.1 and apt-cache policy shows 4:3.3.2-1 
as installable package version, you should be able to install kdat safely 
on your system by simply using aptitude install kdat, *after* you have 
removed that newer version you tried to install above[1].

In order to enjoy a newer version of kdat and KDE consider upgrading to 
Debian Etch.

[1] if aptitude wants to remove some packages cause it thinks they are 
unused and you think they are not be careful, if in doubt better use 
apt-get then, if interested I can provide a detailed explaination about 
that, that explaination should be available somewhere on the Debian
