Ya, kdbg is a user space tool and not related to kernel !

For re-installing the deleted tools (but their rpms are still
installed) first un-install the rpms related to them and then
re-install the rpm from the distribution CD. Commands for
un-installing and installing are :
1) First get the rpm name/information exactly for your tool like
rpm -qa | grep kdbg
2) When got the rpm name then uninstall it by running
rpm -e kdbg-<your_version_number>
3) Then re-install the rpm
rpm -i kdbg-<your_ver_number>
I hope this will help !
