hmm... I did not know that rpm supports this debian style versioning...
I think it's just broken dependancy, get the source rpm and make sure in
the .spec the variable epoch is defined.

to do this first uninstall 'kdeaddons-atlantikdesigner'. This way rpm -Fhv ...
will not try to Upgrade it. In the .spec file there should be:
| %define epoch         the_correct_number_0_or_1_I_think
you can find the correct number from another .spec file or <I don't remember>..

ex: # I don't guarantee it is 100% correct example
| rpm -ihv kdeaddons-atlantikdesigner-....src.rpm
| cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
| edit kdeaddons-atlantikdesigner.spec # and see why epoch got undefined
| rpmbuild -bb kdeaddons-atlantikdesigner.spec
| cd ../RPMS/i386 # & install it from there

make sure you have all these packages installed and
a) rebuild kdeaddons-atlantikdesigner
b) rpm -e kdeaddons-atlantikdesi...; rpm -Fhv ...; rpm -ihv --nodeps kdeaddon....
c) just don't use kdeaddons-atlantikdesigner (the easiest way, worked for me)

  keep in mind that (b) will break your dependancies in the rpm database
and yum / apt-get may/will refuse to work
