Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdepim

I have tried upgrading Kubuntu from Feisty to Gutsy using manual method:
1. Replaced feisty with gutsy in /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Run Adept Manager, fetched updates and did "Full upgrade".
3. Installation aborted at some point (without giving opportunity to see apt output).
4. Running "apt-get install -f" showed the following problem:
kkk@gutsy:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libkcal2b: Depends: libkdepim1a (>= 4:3.5.7) but 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu6 is installed

In the end I used dpkg with force all and it all worked out.
