Problems with installing kdebase-kio-plugins

In the process of upgrading to kde3.4.1. I deinstalled the kdebase-kio-plugins (not a good idea, I know). Now I cannot install them back again. I get the following error msg:

Code:

Unpacking kdebase-kio-plugins (from .../kdebase-kio-plugins_4%3a3.3.2-1_i386.deb) ...

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-kio-plugins_4%3a3.3.2-1_i386.deb (--unpack):

 trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/kde3/', which is also in package kdepim-kio-plugins

dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Errors were encountered while processing:

 /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-kio-plugins_4%3a3.3.2-1_i386.deb

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

apt-get -f install gets the same result.

removing kio_imap4.la doesn't make a difference.

I tried to deinstall the entire kdebase package, but it produces a dependency problem with the kdebase-kio-plugins package. So, now I'm stuck.

You need to get it from experimental if the rest of your KDE is 3.4.1-1. The one you tried to install is from unstable. Try with:
apt-get install kdebase-kio-plugins/experimental

Thanks! I did that, and now I got the following dependency problem:

Code:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

  kdebase-kio-plugins: Depends: dbus-qt-1 (>= 0.23.4) but it is not installable

I haven't been able to install dbus-qt-1 via apt-get

That version is in unstable and should install ok. Also there is no newer one in experimental. What error does it give when trying to apt-get it?

It seems like apt-get didn't find the package.

I decided to download it manually, from
here and install it via dpgk -i. Once that was installed, I could install the kdebase-kio-plugins and the rest of kdebase.

thanks a lot, your help was highly appreciated :)

No prob. You might want to check your sources.list though as dbus-qt-1 is installable from unstable.

Code:

 apt-cache policy dbus-qt-1

dbus-qt-1:

  Installed: 0.23.4-3

  Candidate: 0.23.4-3

  Version table:

 *** 0.23.4-3 0
