Hi David,
package A contains x and package B contains x
package A is in Debian kde
package B is in Alioth kde
but the Alioth kde was not setup to upgrade from Debian kde perfectly.
It may have in the past, but not at the moment.
if you force the installation of kdeedu-data and konq-plugins, this will
either solve the problem or will make things worse. If not, then you
would have not back out of Alioth kde, install Debian kde and either
wait for Debian kde to catchup or wait for Alioth kde to be fixed.
the command would be:
dpkg --force-overwrite --install <something>.deb
After this you would need to 'apt-get -f install' and then try to
continue installing what ever was missing in kde.
Cheers,
kev
