It actually wasn't broken, so you're right. The reason I made this assumption is that I was also switching the login manager during this installation process, and I just guessed that something would be left in an intermediary state. While that was partially true, I was able to reboot and continue using my default ubuntu desktop (albeit with a kubuntu boot screen).
Thanks, in any case, for your answer, Gene. Your comments are spot on and I totally agree. For me, this was basically a case of trying to give Kubuntu Desktop a quick install and then go on with my daily tasks. The installation failed (for the reason mentioned in the description of this bug), apt- get install -f was failing constantly with the same error and I felt basically stuck. I did manage to repair my distro and things are back to normal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1488909 Title: package kaccounts-providers (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/accounts/providers/google.provider', which is also in package account-plugin-google 0.12+15.10.20150723-0ubuntu1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kaccounts-providers/+bug/1488909/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
