    apt-get not working

    Hello,
    I have knoppix 3.6 installed. I tried installing kweather using apt-get but it didn't work. Now whenever I try to install something using apt-get install I get the following error--
    Code:
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      kdelibs4: Depends: kdelibs-data (>= 4:3.3.0) but 4:3.2.3-4 is to be installed
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
    On doing apt-get -f install as suggested I get the following --
    Code:
    (Reading database ... 115101 files and directories currently installed.)
    Preparing to replace kdelibs-data 4:3.2.3-4 (using .../kdelibs-data_4%3a3.3.2-6.4_all.deb) ...
    Unpacking replacement kdelibs-data ...
    Replacing files in old package korganizer ...
    Replacing files in old package kcontrol ...
    dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data_4%3a3.3.2-6.4_all.deb (--unpack):
     trying to overwrite `/usr/share/mimelnk/application/vnd.sun.xml.calc.template.desktop', which is also in package openoffice-de-en
    dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data_4%3a3.3.2-6.4_all.deb
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
    How do I fix it please because I am not able to install anything using apt-get now.

    Thanks.

    yes.. knoppix is a live cd... it isnt recomended to install it to hard drive... but you can still... see, if you use debian, its litually the same...

    apt-get does F*** up (please excuse me french)...

    this hasnt been really any help, but really telling you that your not the only one out there with this problem... also, instead of using apt-get, why dont you use wiki... its great, temporarily downloads and installs stuff...

    HeHe, thanks for the reply. Last time this happened to me I had to reinstall Knoppix. I hope this doesn't happen with regular debian . Also how can I install software using wiki? As far as I know, wiki is about collaborative content creation.
