Bug Description

1) Mint 13 Cinnamo

2) Try to install mint-meta-kde

3) mint-meta-kde depends on mint-info-kde which conflicts mint-info-cinnamon due to the common file /etc/linuxmint/info

mint-meta-cinnamon does not depend on mint-info-cinnamon, so lets swap mint-meta-kde for mint-meta-cinnamon. This requires the use of dpkg --force-depends, which is not nice. So mint-meta-kde should not depend on mint-info-kde.

I had this bug happen to me today. When you are running cinnamon and want to install the kde desktop, it should just install and work!!! It isn't random and only going to happen on a few computers. Please fix this so people can easily use both. Don't tell me how easy the work around is, I don't even want to hear it. That this is a problem at all is quite silly. I would like to kindly ask that this be fixed.
