Confirming, makes new installations to fail.

This bug was fixed in the package kio-umountwrapper - 0.2-0ubuntu5

---------------
kio-umountwrapper (0.2-0ubuntu5) hardy; urgency=low

  * Do not try to divert /usr/../dolphin/../media_safelyremove.desktop,
    since dolphin doesn't install that anymore. (LP: #183292)

To stop the problem :

sudo apt-get install kio-umountwrapper

This is not a real solution

I installed kubuntu desktop on Ubuntu. Later on removal of kio-umountwrapper this error occurs.
