Yes, kontact-plugins

I was trying out different PIM-systems for a project. apt-get install
kontact used to recommend kontact-plugins, so I tried
'apt-get install kontact kontact-plugins',
and the error occurred:
Unpacking kontact-plugins (from .../kontact-plugins_4%
3a3.2.3-2_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kontact-plugins_4%
3a3.2.3-2_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/kde3/kcm_kontactknt.so', which is also in
package kontact
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/kontact-plugins_4%3a3.2.3-2_i386.deb
(The latest version of kontact no longer recommends kontact-plugins, it
"replaces" it)

~$ apt-cache policy kontact-plugins
kontact-plugins:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 4:3.2.3-2
Version Table:
4:3.2.3-2 0

100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
debian.crosslink.net is on the official debian mirrors list; it is in my
sources.list file.

Thanks for your careful and quick attention to such an obscure problem.
