Unable to install kubuntu-Desktop in ubuntu 16.04 Lts
Following snippet is what I used to install kubuntu-desktop
in ubuntu-16.04 LTS
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
Got error message,
kubuntu-desktop is already the newest version (1.338).
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kde-telepathy-minimal : Depends: kde-config-telepathy-accounts (>= 15.04.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Following the error message when I tried to install using
apt-get install -f
I got the following error message,

The following additional packages will be installed:

Please help me resolve this.Thanks.
Solution 1:
I solved this issue by doing a forced overwrite
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-config-telepathy-accounts_4%3a15.12.3-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
and then fixing the installation with
sudo apt-get install -f
