Assuming it's the same issue I had: For me aptitude install kde failed at korganizer with dpkg saying korganizer wanted to replace a file belonging to other packages, and named them. I checked out the files (it's been a while, so I don't rightly remember which one), decided I could safely overwrite it and backed it up. I also noted the packages that korganizer wanted to overwrite, and did: dpkg -i --force-overwrite korganizer_4%3a3.2.3-1_i386.deb Then dpkg -i \ kdelibs_4%3a3.3.0-1_all.deb kdelibs-bin_4%3a3.3.0-1_i386.deb \ kdelibs4_4%3a3.3.0-1_i386.deb kdelibs-data_4%3a3.3.0-1_all.deb You'll note that kdelibs3.3 will tell you something about replacing old files. kdelibs3.3 knew about the change, and took back control of the files from korganizer3.2. That's why upgrades work. The reason the install fails is that korganizer3.2 doesn't know about the change, and when dpkg tries to install it after kdelibs3.3 are already installed, it bails out. This kind of thing is why unstable is named sid ;) >From this point, the install went fine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
