Apt-get problem ?

[Jim Taylor]

I have attempted to install several programs using kpacakge and been 
unsuccessful. I get this error message;

<pt-get install --yes 'gimp-help-common' ;echo RESULT=$?
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 4:3.2.2-2 is to be 
installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a 
solution).
RESULT=100

I the try # apt-get -f install, which produces this message;

The following extra packages will be installed:
  kdelibs-data

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

In the original command an older version of the library is to be installed.
The apt-get -f install command appears to be updating the library. I don't 
understand the error or the error code and does this happen when trying to 
overwrite `/usr/share/mimelnk/audio/x-ms-wma.desktop' ?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jim
