Thanks robegue, it worked like a charm. Got the new version installed and now the old kde3-apps won't be marked for deinstallation on upgrade to 4.10 anymore.
There are two more questions I've got. 1. shouldn't it be "pkg -I ../newpackage.deb" with capital I. The other option wasn't recognized. 2. wouldn't it be possible to get all the kde3-applications out of the way by editing their respective Debian packages. What I mean is in case of kdelibs4c2a for instance changing the directory tree like this: /usr -> /kde3 Wouldn't that mean, that all applications, libraries and documentation files would be installed under /kde3 instead /usr? Adding the new paths should be enough to make them accessible. The only thing that worries me ist the file installed under /etc. But there it already has been installed into a kde3-subdirectory. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1100622 Title: package kdelibs5-plugins (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/ktelnetservice', which is also in package kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu2.10.04.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+bug/1100622/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
