Hi all, i just tried a dist-upgrade to unstable and all packages installed fine except for korganizer which is causing alot of other programs to not work (including firefox). This is the error i am getting when i try an apt-get -f install:

(Reading database ... 130100 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace korganizer 4:3.2.2-2 (using .../korganizer_4%3a3.2.3-1_i386.deb) ...

Did you exit the window manager and GUI prior to upgrading? I always boot to command only when doing upgrades.

I fixed it, the fix was:
# dpkg --force-overwrite -i korganizer_3.2.3-1_i386.deb
# apt-get install --reinstall kdelibs-bin kdelibs4 kdelibs-data
