I understand the security issue and have since resolved it.  This evening I
was notified there were new updates and installed them.  The following
packages are now having problems:
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/kaddressbook_4%3a4.2.85-0ubuntu1~jaunty1~ppa5_amd64.deb
 /var/cache/apt/archives/kdepim-groupware_4%3a4.2.85-0ubuntu1~jaunty1~ppa5_amd64.deb
 /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-icons-oxygen_4%3a4.2.85-0ubuntu2~jaunty1~ppa2_all.deb
 /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-workspace-bin_4%3a4.2.85-0ubuntu2~jaunty2~ppa6_amd64.deb
 /var/cache/apt/archives/plasma-scriptengine-webkit_4%3a4.2.85-0ubuntu2~jaunty2~ppa6_amd64.deb
 /var/cache/apt/archives/okular_4%3a4.2.85-0ubuntu1~jaunty1~ppa1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

It seems the release announcement on the kubuntu.org website was released
way way way to early and should be taken down, no instructions should be out
there on how to upgrade/update to this until there has been some testing on
the packages.  This release seems more rushed then previous releases of KDE
that I have upgraded to.  My computer now feels like I am runing and early
alpha of Karmic instead of Jaunty.  I understand using the experimental ppas
are at my own risk, but have never had these problems before.
I also get several crashes and for some reason the brilliant application
that is network-manager is dropping my wireless connection left and right.
In fact everytime choqoK updates/refreshes my wireless drops.  This did not
happen before the upgrade.

Please test the packages further before announcing the changes on the
website.  I wonder how many other people are in the same boat as I am?  Yes
i want the newest goodness of KDE and yes I want a working machine.  Is that
too hard to ask for?
