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

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:

Re: Problem Installing KDE 4.1 RC

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 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

Re: Problem Installing KDE 4.1 RC

Well, after ditching my .kde4 (probably not necessary), and

sudo apt-get install kdebase-kde4

and then some

sudo dpkg --configure -a

and

sudo apt-get -f install

magic, the problem has seemed to been fixed... not really sure why though...
