I just debugged the problem a bit and it only happens if no
"kubuntu-desktop" package is installed. So as a workaround I would suggest to run:
$ sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-kde4-desktop; sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
and to retry the upgrade then.

I look into the problem now for a better fix.

I can't install kubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-kde4-desktop because these packages not exist in 8.04 version. How can i do to upgrade my pc?

Hello.

    I don't care this error message and upgrade my kubuntu from 8.04 to
9.04. It don't restart in KDE but in console mode. After some headaches,
I try a 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop' and now it works
very fine for me. And this new version brings me back all
functionnalities I lost with 8.04. A very good point.

I hope it helps

Hello,

I upgraded ignoring the warnings and all worked perfect. I'd not have any
problem with the KDE.

Thansk for the help.

This bug was fixed in the package update-manager - 1:0.121

---------------
update-manager (1:0.121) karmic; urgency=low

  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgrade.cfg:
    - remove obsolete kubuntu-kde4-desktop meta package
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py:
    - when guessing missing meta-packages stop after
      the first one was found
    - use internal _lookupPkgRecord() instead of
      pkg._lookupRecord
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeQuirks.py:
    - move the kubuntu-kde4-desktop key dependency transition
      detection to the from_hardy quirks handler (LP: #368459)
  * UpdateManager/Core/MyCache.py:
    - always disable version number range of the changes in the
      details (LP: #251349)
    - make the distro supporting the changelogs easier to customize
  * DistUpgrade/xorg_fix_proprietary.py:
    - better comment when explaining why stuff got commented out
      (LP: #300504)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py:
    - after updating the sources.list, check for both existance
      and downloadability of the BaseMetaPkgs and abort if that
      is not the case (thanks to Ulrich Kalkkuhl) LP: #370062
  * UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:
    - show origin field for other updates (like PPAs) to make it
      easier to see what comes from where (part of the
      foundations-karmic-apturl-policy spec)
