I was trying to apt-get install konqueror and ran into a world of problems. Here's the errors I'm getting:

At this point I'm not overly concerned that I can't get konqueror installed. I want to make sure that I didn't break apt-get functionality, and would like to cleanup. I tried to do an apt-get remove konqueror and got a ton of errors also. Any help is appreciated.

well at this point you are going to have to move forward if you want apt-get to ever work again. you'll have to use dpkg -i --force-overwrite

unfortunately at this point the release version has some problems with the different repositories, and you have to be carefull what you try to install. konq is a big no no because it requires all the kdelibs and qt stuff. the whole reason mythbrowser is not in the current release is because of problems with dependencies on this stuff.

Yeah, I kind of figured that this was the same problem with the mythbrowser thingy. Am I going to break everything if I try the dpkg command you suggested? I guess I can live without apt-get if that's the case.
