Bug Description

I added the new 4.1 repo for kde 4.1 and kde-window-manager won't install and breaks my apt-get.

I have tried to do apt-get -f install and aptitude clean to try to resolve it with the same error messages.

Apt-get output:

The latest kdebase-runtime-data doesn't have this file. There's not much we can do about upgrades from 4.0.3.

Couldn't we just add "Replaces: kdebase-runtime-data" to the kde-window-decorator package?
KDE 4.0.3 was the last to be released in Hardy (except for hardy-updates) so we should make it upgradable from that right?

I guess there is something that can be done. :P
