[Bug 1610583] Re: package kaccounts-providers (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.d/www.facebook.com.conf', which is also in package account-plugin-facebook 0.12+16.04.20160126-0ubuntu1

[Brian Martin]

This happened when I was trying to change from Gnome to KDE. It asked me
a question that made no sense to this totally inexperienced linux user,
and I figured that I had a slightly better chance of being correct if I
chose the first of the 2 options. It had something to do with windows
[which I need for a few programs], and maybe network managers, but I'm
not really sure.

Here's what the terminal looked like when I typed the terminal command
to install KDE again:

brian at brian-XPS-8500:~$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[sudo] password for brian: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
kubuntu-desktop is already the newest version (1.338).
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 kde-telepathy-minimal : Depends: kde-config-telepathy-accounts (>= 15.04.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

brian at brian-XPS-8500:~$ apt-get -f install
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?


So I can't tell if this is a bug, or if I chose the wrong option when I tried to install KDE. As far as I can tell, I can't get into KDE, I've tried restarting and logging off. Please help.
