Bug Description

Binary package hint: kplayer

When trying to upgrade kplayer, I get:

Need to get 563kB of archives.
After this operation, 160kB of additional disk space will be used.
Get:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/multiverse kplayer i386 1:0.7-2ubuntu1 [563kB]

So I cannot upgrade kplayer because a conflicting file in kplayer-data.
