This has been broken for at least two releases now. The solution seems
to be to wipe the whole installation and hope you don't install the
wrong package next time.

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
