Re: [trinity-users] Installation problem on Ubuntu oneiric (ksmserver-trinity fails to install)

From: Stefan Endrullis <stefan@...>

OK, I found a workaround:  I removed the existing, problematic diversions via
> dpkg-divert --remove /usr/bin/plasma
> dpkg-divert --remove /usr/bin/plasma-desktop
and afterwards I could install ksmserver-trinity and also kdebase-trinity.

Regards,
Stefan
