[Bug 200306] [NEW] kmplayer prevents kde install

[Ronnie Smith]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop

Bug Report

I just did a fresh install of Linspire 6.0 with the Ubuntu Feisty 7.4
OS. My kernel is 2.6.20-1 low latency. After doing my update, upgrades,
and dist-upgrades I was unable to complete the installation of KDE.
After running: [sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install Kubuntu-
desktop] the install failed due to Broken Pipes with the kmplayer files.

My attempts to correct this issue with Kpackage revealed unmet
dependencies with kubuntu-desktop.

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kubuntu-desktop: Depends: kmplayer-konq-plugins but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
