konq-plugins vs. kdelibs-data



I am living dangerously and running Sid with the Alioth KDE 3.4.1 packages.  
For the most part it's been reasonably stable, but I have run into an 
apt-snag.  

kdeaddons will not upgrade or install, because it depends on konq-plugins >= 
3.3.2.  konq-plugins 3.3.2 is available (via sarge), but it won't install 
because it is:

"trying to overwrite `/usr/share/mimelnk/application/x-webarchive.desktop', 
which is also in package kdelibs-data"

I've tried apt-get -f and aptitude -f on konq-plugins, and moving/removing 
that file.  It still refuses to install konq-plugins, which in turn holds 
various other things back (and of course means I don't have konq-plugins 
installed).  Uninstalling and reinstalling kdelibs-data, of course, would 
take with it nearly all of KDE, so I haven't done that. :-)  

Any advice on how to unjam apt without totally blowing away KDE and starting 
from scratch?

exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
