Bug description:
I installed Kubuntu 16.04, later tried to install unity with `sudo
apt-get install unity` which has a dependency (unity-scope-gdrive)
requiring account-plugin-google and that wouldn't install since
'/usr/share/accounts/providers/google.provider' is already provided by
kaccounts-providers:
$ sudo apt-get install unity

unity is already the newest version (7.4.0+16.04.20160415-0ubuntu1).
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
unity-scope-gdrive : Depends: account-plugin-google but it is not going to
be installed
$ sudo apt-get -f install
