apt-get problem

[Ben <debian@ausipos.com>]

Hi All,

Hopefully someone can help me with this...

I have an old(er) laptop that I use as a router, I recently ran an
apt-get upgrade on the laptop from stable to testing which returned the
following error:

Preconfiguring packages ...
(Reading database ... 115430 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace kdelibs-data 4:3.1.5-1 (using
.../kdelibs-data_4%3a3.3.2-1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement kdelibs-data ...
Replacing files in old package kcontrol ...
Replacing files in old package koffice-data ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data_4%3a3.3.2-1_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite
`/usr/share/mimelnk/application/vnd.sun.xml.calc.desktop', which is also
in package openoffice-de-en
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data_4%3a3.3.2-1_all.deb


I have attempted to use --fix-missing & -f to no avail, I have attempted
to remove everything to do with kde & openoffice (being a router I don't
use either of these) and get the error:

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kaddressbook: Depends: libkcal2 (>= 4:3.3.1) but it is not going to
be installed
                Depends: libkdepim1 (>= 4:3.3.1) but it is not going to
be installed
  kalarm: Depends: libkcal2 (>= 4:3.3.1) but it is not going to be
installed

  ksync: Depends: libkcal2 (>= 4:3.3.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).

how on earth do I get around this? I seem to now be at the position that
I can no longer install or remove anything via apt, which is getting
very frustrating...

any suggestions

Ben
