I encountered this problem while trying to run the upgrade from kde 4.1 to 4.2 from Intrepid Ibex listed here:
http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 To get around this problem, I was able to run the following command: sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-window- manager_4%3a4.2.0-0ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa7_i386.deb This pushed through the change, though failed on some other dependencies. But then I was able to successfully run this command: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f And I'm up and running on kde 4.2. Thanks to Jonathan Thomas for the tip. -- package kde-window-manager 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu13 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/kde4/apps/kconf_update/plasma-add-shortcut-to-menu.upd', which is also in package kdebase-workspace-data https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
