apt-get dist-upgrade problem

[Anthony Fox <ant@lonelyroad.org>]

Hello,

This morning I tried to do my routine apt-get upgrade && apt-get
dist-upgrade.  The dist-upgrade blew up on some kde packages.

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

It appears that dpkg is trying to create a 'diversion' from
/usr/lib/kde2/kio_https.la to /usr/lib/kde2/kio_https-nossl.la by
kdelibs3-crypto.  However, /usr/lib/kde2/kio_https.la is a symlink to
/etc/alternatives/kio_https.la which actually points back to
/usr/lib/kde2/kio_https-nossl.la.

I have tried moving /usr/lib/kde2/kio_https* out of the way, but that
did not work.  I have moved them back to where they are supposed to
be.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks,
Anthony
