I have experienced this problem as well, while adding KDE to the desktop environments on my copy of Ubuntu. As I like XFCE for most things, but decided to see how recent versions of KDE look. During installation, the KDE accounts config package kept trying to overwrite files provides by other packages. Apt-get install -f did not do it's job, and threw the same errors. I eventually just grabbed the .deb files using pkgs.org and installed them with dpkg --force-all. This resulted in all sorts of file conflicts, which as I used the --force-all option, it overrided and installed anyway. KDE seems to be working normally. If I need to, I will reinstalled the package that got overwritten, once again with the --force-all option to make sure it does it's job. However is packaging those two packages, need to decided who provides what, or move the configs off to a third package that they both could depend on instead of conflicting.

[Test case] Install both kaccounts-providers and account-plugin-facebook: you'll get file conflicts for /usr/share/accounts/services/facebook-im.service and /usr/share/accounts/providers/facebook.provider. You might get other conflicts as well, but those are due to bug 1565772 (also nominated for SRU). [Regression potential] Minimal: the changed packages belong to the default KDE installation, and have already landed in Yakkety. Things appear to be working fine there: account creation is still possible under KDE, even after changing the file paths as per this fix.
