After doing apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade I get this message: "file /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/pics/users/BeachBall.png from install of kdebase3-kdm-3.3.0-15 conflicts with file from package kdeutils3-3.2.1-61 Error while running transaction."
I don't get it. How can a little picture file "conflict" with anything? What's to conflict about a picture file? There were two other such "conflicts", Butterfly.png and Flower.png.
Could someone explain, in small words please? I could understand missing or corrupted... but a portable network graphics drawing of a beachball conflicts with. . . well, what can a picture conflict with?

Please ignore the advise given in that link. People are far to quick to --force the issue Look at the kdeutils3 version. For some reason apt wants to upgrade kdm to version 3.3, but keep kdeutils3 at 3.2.1. In between those two versions, the packager decided to move that picture from kdeutils to kdm. The correct solution is to somehow get apt to upgrade kdetils3 along with kdm. Usually, kde packages need to be upgraded in unison
