I upgraded from potato to testing and then to sid a few days ago and had
the same problem but with a different filename. I just did this:
dpkg -i --force-overwrite
/var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs3_4%3a2.2.0-0beta1-1_i386.deb
followed by this to fix and continue:
apt-get -f install
apt-get -u dist-upgrade
When done, I set sources.list back to testing. I went to sid to get all of
gnome 1.4. Risky, but then I drop back to testing from now on.
Everything seems OK but I run gnome, not kde.
