You can install two or more debs that contain same files with the following: dpkg -i --force-overwrite kfind_2.0.1-2.deb
Assuming you have downloaded it, it will be in /var/cache/apt/archives if you used apt-get, if not just cd to where you have the deb. You might try this as well dpkg --force-help to get an idea, of course man dpkg explains it as well. Multiple packages containing same files has been noted as a packaging bug, so you shouldn't need --force-overwrite normally, but it allows you to get around the problem for now.
