apt-get - unmet dependencies



Hello list. 
 
I was wondering if there is any way to correct this fault in apt-get: 
# apt-get upgrade 
Reading Package Lists... Done 
Building Dependency Tree... Done 
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. 
The following packages have unmet dependencies: 
  kdeaddons: Depends: kontact-plugins (>= 4:3.2.3-2) but it is not installed 
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. 
 
The problem is, that I cannot use apt at anything as this fault stops it 
from going anywhere. I have tried the -f switch: 
 
# apt-get -f install 
Reading Package Lists... Done

The following extra packages will be installed: 
  kontact-plugins 
Suggested packages: 
  kdeaddons-doc-html 
The following NEW packages will be installed: 
  kontact-plugins 
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. 
307 not fully installed or removed. 
Need to get 0B/52,4kB of archives.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

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 
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) 
 
I've also tried `apt-get autoclean'. I've even tried 
removing /usr/lib/kde3/kcm_kontactknt.so, with no result. 
 
So I'm asking the list. Any help is appreciated.
