Hello

I am trying to do a apt-get upgrade under Hoary but I keep getting this
error:

Preparing to replace kdelibs-data 4:3.4.0-0ubuntu3
(using .../kdelibs-data_4%3a3.4.0-0ubuntu3.1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement kdelibs-data ...
dpkg: error
processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data_4%3a3.4.0-0ubuntu3.1_all.deb
(--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/icons/default.kde', which is also in
package knetworkconf
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data_4%3a3.4.0-0ubuntu3.1_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Anyone what is this and how to fix it?

hmm, one final question ... what is that /var/cache directory for?

Thanks
