Change to the /var/cache/apt/archives/ and use dpkg -i --force-overwrite offending_packages and then dpkg --configure -a to get the unconfigured packages that were left when the error happened you may have to repeat this process a couple of times. You may also want to add this line to your sources.list and get the Debian packages they are the .92 beta 2 version. You will need to use the commands mentioned above on these packages as well other than that they work great. ## Experimental needed for KDE 3.3 beta2 deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian ../project/experimental main contrib non-free Stephen
