The problem is here.  There is a "post-removal" script that fails because it
misses a program called kpsewhich! Knowing that, you have 2 options: either
provide the missing program or force the removal.

If you opt for the 1st option, you have to find where is this program... So,
if you look into the debian packages repository (sorry, I'm an old one,
still relying on debian, maybe the same kind of research could be done
within kubuntu), you have the following result:

http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=kpsewhich&searchmode=searchfiles&case=sensitive&version=unstable&arch=i386

usr/bin/kpsewhich					    tex/tetex-bin
<http://packages.debian.org/unstable/tex/tetex-bin>

So if you install the tetex-bin package, you should be able to remove
lilypond ;-)  (cross fingers)


If you opt for the 2nd options, please read: dpkg --force-help
and also cross fingers ;-)
