Re: apt-get problem
I would do the following. remove the package kdelibs-bin from
/var/lib/dpkg/status making sure that I have a copy of the original file.
then make the same query to apt-get and see if it overwrites the files
causing the problem.
remember that you may have the same problem if you try to reinstall
kdelibs-bin
Some times the problem is simply that you do not have the proper
permissions.
