    So I do:

    [rabbit]root%apt-get install kde
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    kde is already the newest version.
    You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      kdeaddons: Depends: kontact-plugins (>= 4:3.2.3-2) but it is not going to
    be installed
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify
    a solution).

    So then I do:

    [rabbit]root%apt-get -f install
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    Correcting dependencies... Done
    The following extra packages will be installed:
      kontact-plugins
    Suggested packages:
      kdeaddons-doc-html
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      kontact-plugins
    0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 721 not upgraded.
    174 not fully installed or removed.
    Need to get 0B/52.4kB of archives.
    After unpacking 188kB of additional disk space will be used.
    Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
    (Reading database ... 145759 files and directories currently installed.)
    Unpacking kontact-plugins (from .../kontact-plugins_4%3a3.2.3-2_i386.deb)
    ...
    dpkg: error processing

     trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/kde3/kcm_kontactknt.so', which is also in
    package kontact

    Errors were encountered while processing:

    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
    [rabbit]root%

    My souceses look like this:

    And now I am stuck in a state where I can't install any packages. Any ideas
    how to continue from here?
    Thanks
