package kde-config-telepathy-accounts (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/accounts/services/google-im.service', which is also in package account-plugin-google 0.12+15.10.20150723-0ubuntu1

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I originally installed the default Ubuntu 15.10. Then installed Xubuntu desktop. While in the Xubuntu desktop I installed Kubuntu-desktop. I got this error during the installation. Hope that's helpful.

I got this bug when I was in the same situation with Jason.

Is there anybody who can solve this bug????

Just mentioning it doesn't help much, I'm afraid.

Can someone attend to solve this bug? It's really annoying and isn't allowing me to install anything else. Someone have some answer how can I install my things again??? Thanks guys.

I installed 15.10 Unity and then installed the kde desktop and ran into the same error.

I solved the bug with the following command:

dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-config-telepathy-accounts_15.08.2-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
apt-get install -f

# apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

        dpkg: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/accounts/services/google-im.service', which is also in package account-plugin-google 0.12+15.10.20150723-0ubuntu1

# dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-config-telepathy-accounts_15.08.2-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
# apt-get install -f
# aptitude install -f

        dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/kaccounts-providers_15.08.2-0ubuntu1_all.deb (--unpack):

        Not any error more. Finished.

As bugs, you MUST choose "sddm" as your default Display Manager when you install KDE with "force-overwrite".

If NOT, you will find sddm runs with the other display manager you chose as "lightdm" at the same time.

It cause your lost all graphics and control with your PC after ONE second you see the Login screen.

If it happens, don't worry. First you can reboot your PC with System Request:
    Hold on Alt + SysRq key (or PrintScreen key), then press these keys one by one: R, E, I, S, U, B. When you press B with hold Alt + SysRq, your system will reboot.

Then, when you see the Login screen, you must press Ctrl + Alt + F1 immediately. And you enter the console. Login and exec the command:
    $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm
Then choose sddm as your default display manager, and reboot.
    $ sudo reboot

And your desktop will work normally.
