How exactly did yiu do that?
rpm -U or rpm -i ?
Generally: use "Update" rather than "Install".

What is "reinstall"?
Did you remove the 2.1beta packages?
You could use tricks like the '--oldpackage' option of rpm (assuming you
know what you're doing)
something like 'rpm -Uv --oldpackages all_kde_packages'. Again, if you
know what you're doing...
