    Problem Installing KDE 4.1 RC

    when i try to install the kubuntu-desktop-kde4 package i get this error when using apt-get:
    E: /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-window-manager_4%3a4.0.98-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa2_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/kde4/share/doc/kde4/HTML/en/kcontrol/kwindecoration/index.docbook', which is also in package kdebase-runtime-data
    dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-window-manager_4%3a4.0.98-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa2_amd64.deb


    and this error when using synaptic:

    E: /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-window-manager_4%3a4.0.98-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa2_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/kde4/share/doc/kde4/HTML/en/kcontrol/kwindecoration/index.docbook', which is also in package kdebase-runtime-data

    There are overlapping:
    kde-window-manager...index.docbook', which is also in package kdebase-runtime-data
    You could wait a repaired package or you could use force > Using force/giving permission to overwrite. Be careful.
    Before you edit, BACKUP !

    Why there are dead links ?

      Before you force the installation try to (re)install the conflicting package. Most likely this is a beta2 package that has not yet been updated. Had this 3 times yesterday with several packages. This was on a clean install of 8.04.1 remix upgraded to 4.1RC1

          Well, after ditching my .kde4 (probably not necessary), and
          Code:
          sudo apt-get install kdebase-kde4
          and then some
          Code:
          sudo dpkg --configure -a
          and
          Code:
          sudo apt-get -f install
          magic, the problem has seemed to been fixed... not really sure why though...
