No, that doesn't work for three reasons. First you copied the typo of 
the OP - it is kaffeine and not kaffiene. Second, Kubuntu doesn't have 
the kdesu command for a long time, there is only kdesudo. And finally, 
even if you use kdesudo and the correct package name it wouldn't work 
because apt-get is a command line tool and kdesudo is used for graphical 
programs only. The problem is that there is no terminal for apt-get and 
you can't confirm that you want to install the extra packages which the 
kaffeine package depends on. Therefore if you want to use apt-get you 
have to use a terminal and sudo:

sudo apt-get install kaffeine
