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,

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
