@ bitbull:

I honestly think this is the outcome of bug 1451728. Tending to mark as duplicate, since there is no real relation to SDDM.

A lot of things went wrong during your attempt to deinstall the kubuntu-desktop, saying so after going through the attached DpkgHistory.log

Given the fact that probably the package-manager in use wouldn't give visual feedback, the log provided sufficient information valid for a multi-desktop environement (as it's easy to install, but hard to get rid of) -> Make sure to install/switch to GDM.

And in final make sure to reinstall gnome-desktop, since the deinstallation teared away most needed packages for a functioning environment.

Not knowing if u have come back to a functional desktop, I would recommend to join the ubuntusers.de Forum for assistance. There are great people with a broad knowledge considered to help. Anyway your system should be recoverable with the chroot-method by using a Live-CD (same release and architecture). This is described well in https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/chroot/Live-CD/

I can honestly not understand why Kubuntu-devs didn't make accounts-plugins/kaccounts-providers conflict, when this error appeared. This would have avoided a considered amount of troubles for a lot of people.

The common ratio of bugs beeing reported is 1:100 to the ratio of people beeing affected. Having said so, you are welcome if you need any further assistance to recover your system.

Hey! Thanks for comment and clarification! Actually my system was in a working state all the time and after some confusion I could easily repair corrupted packages related to the accounts package. I wanted to submit this one because it told me to be related SDDM and I wanted to help with debug information. I'm not bugged by this one.
