Bug Description
On multiple systems running the KDE desktop (on amd64, arm64, riscv64) I saw this error:
Unpacking desktop-base (12.0.6+
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-
trying to overwrite '/etc/skel/.face', which is also in package kubuntu-
dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
It can be fixed with
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-
But we cannot expect every user to figure this out on his own.
