I've never used KPackage but it seems like the process that is needed by KPackage is being used by kplayer (a media player for KDE) and in turn, is giving the broken pipe error.
Well, go to shell and type in: PID or pid, don't remember. It will give you name of the program and the ID. Once you find kplayer, look at its PID and type in shell kill PIDofkplayer.
