problem with apt-get


root@superubercool:/home/Pat# apt-get upgrade

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdelibs: Depends: kdelibs-data (>= 4:3.2.2-2) but 4:3.1.5-1 is installed
kdelibs4: Depends: kdelibs-data (>= 4:3.2.1) but 4:3.1.5-1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

all of the programs on my desktop don't work anymore, and i have to run them all by going into /usr/bin/ which isn't very fun.... any ideas on how to fix this would be awesome.

Use dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data_4%3a3.2.2-2_all.deb and then dpkg --configure -a to configure any packages that may have been missed when the error occurred. You may want to use dpkg -l | grep 3.1.[345] to make sure that you do not have packages still at the old 3.1 version, to upgrade the package(s) if necessary apt-get install -t unstable package(s)_to_be_installed.
