Hi David,
error #1: 2 packages have the same file
fix 1: only install 1 or the other
fix 2: assume this is an error and ask the new package to overwrite the
old and suffer the consequences

yup, just as I suspected. the alioth packages are experimental. Some
times they work 100% with standard debian (unstable,testing,stable),
sometimes they do not. The alioth packages have 'bugs' as they do not
conform to Debian policy. if 2 package have the same file, they should
'conflict' in someway. The solution to the above problems is to use 'dpkg
--force-overwrite' but since the alioth package are not 100 ok, the
result may or may not work. Odds are they it will be ok. But I would
sugeest emailing the pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org folks and telling them
about this and making a bug report if possible.
Cheers,
Kev
