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

The following extra packages will be installed:
kontact-plugins
Suggested packages:

The following NEW packages will be installed:

dpkg: error

(--unpack):

Errors were encountered while processing:

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.
