    Are you sure you want to be running unstable? Something like this is
    typically the result of using unstable and/or mixing with other package
    sources

    Anyway; I guess you got to get rid of the conflict; so..

    dpkg --force-overwrite -i \
    /var/cache/apt/archives/kontact-plugins_4%3a3.2.3-2_i386.deb

    Maybe you want to use `script` to make a log file of everything that
    happens; apt-get will continue it's work when it finds that conflict is
    gone (probably) or use apt-get -f install again;

    HTH,
