Usually if I am doing something where I am getting errors like this I
would force the removal of the offending packages, then try to fix the
broken dpendencies:
dpkg -r --force-depends kdelibs4 kdebase-data kwin kdelibs-data
apt-get -f install
: use 'man dpkg' to see the full list of options or 'dpkg --force-help'
to see only the --force options. You can force an overwrite of
files that exist in another previously installed package. Generally
speaking I do not view forcing an overwrite of files that exist in
another package to be a good solution as seems to be common in the rpm
world (shudder) ;), but there have been times when I have made
exceptions to that rule.
