Was upgrading KDE 4.1 to KDE 4.2Beta2 on Kubuntu 8.10 and something went really wrong. The data component of KDE workspace didn't get installed tried reconfiguring, forcing and fixing the package but no luck. It seems that the data component is trying to overwrite a shared component and this attempt in turn gives an error. Output of the same is attached below, any help on this would be really appreciated.
