Hi,

was doing a apt-get install kde gnome openoffice.org   ( on a
debootstrapped setup )

Selecting previously deselected package kontact.
(Reading database ... 77821 files and directories currently
installed.)
Unpacking kontact (from .../kontact_4%3a3.3.0-2_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking kontact-plugins (from
.../kontact-plugins_4%3a3.2.3-2_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/kontact-plugins_4%3a3.2.3-2_i386.deb
(--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/kde3/kcm_kontactknt.so', which is also
in package kontact
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/kontact-plugins_4%3a3.2.3-2_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Whats the solution?

apt-get -f install doesnt help much too

Regards,
Karunakar
