More of my woes with installing Knode

[Bob_Ullet]

I think that when I installed Knode, I installed an older version of kdelibs-data. Can I correct this mistake?

Here is a list of the error that I'm getting --

By the way Knode is now up and running. Should I leave it alone?

Yes you can correct the error you would cd /var/cache/apt/archives then dpkg -i --force-overwrite kdelibs-data_4%3a3.1.4-2_all.deb to overwrite the offending file. To answer the question there is always the old saying "If it ain't broke why fix it." but that's never stopped me before so it's a matter of personal preference.

Thanks Stephen-- That did the job and all seems to be working right!
