*sigh* This file was recently moved there from another package (upstream change) and of course I didn't know it also existed in kcontrol, so I didn't add any replaces for it. I will fix it now in the packages. In the meantime, things you can do: 1) Retry. If kcontrol gets removed at some point, this will suddenly succeed. 2) Force install of the kdebase-runtime package: (as root) # cd /var/cache/apt/archives # dpkg -i --force-overwrite "kdebase-runtime_4:4.3.0-1_i386.deb" If you encounter any more similar issues, please report them to us as well.
