Looks like kde4-style-qtcurve-kdeconfig is missing a conflicts on kde4-style-qtcurve. I'll roll a patch to fix it properly, but in the meantime, you should be able to finish the install by removing kde4-style-qtcurve-kdeconfig. (That said, since kde4-style-qtcurve-kdeconfig is already installed, you shouldn't need kde4-style-qtcurve)

Bryan Donlan (bdonlan) wrote :

Attached is an interdiff from 0.59.3-0ubuntu2 to add the necessary conflicts line; unless there's a new upstream version or whatever coming in, it should be applied to jaunty once the builds are working. I also believe it should be a good candidate for a stable update, as it merely adds a conflicts line to a pair of packages which cannot be installed together anyway.

Looks good to me to be included after the jaunty archive is open.

Uploaded. Thank you for your contribution to Ubuntu. The package for Intrepid will need to be manually accepted by and archive administrator before it appears in intrepid-proposed for testing.

I am simply not able to reproduce the problem. I have tried looking back in history as well, and these two packages do not have any files in common over time. These packages should be installable alongside, so the conflicts should be removed (and the suggests re-introduced?).
