Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kde-guidance

Since the seperation of guidance-power-manager in Intrepid (the KDE 4 version). The package conflicts with those from kde-guidance. The package guidance-backends contains files that are also in guidance-power-manager.
guidance-backends is on my system required by jockey-common.

Here is what aptitude says:
Setting up guidance-backends (0.8.0svn20080103-0ubuntu19) ...
Usage: update-python-modules [-v] [-c] package_directory [...]
       update-python-modules [-v] [-c] package.dirs [...]

       update-python-modules [-v] [-a|-f|-p]

 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

The error occured while doing a "aptitude full-upgrade". My system runs
Kubuntu Intrepid. The versions of the packages are above in the aptitude
output. My expectation was a clean upgrade, what happened was aptitude
not being able to configure because of the double files.
