kde window manager crashed & failed on upgrade

[Chris Hartley]

Binary package hint: kde-window-manager

The upgrade failed with the following message:

Preparing to replace kde-window-manager 4:4.1.4-0ubuntu1~intrepid3 (using .../kde-window-manager_4%3a4.2.0-0ubuntu1~intrepid1_i386.deb) ...

dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

and a pop-up saying that kde-window-manager had crashed.

I'm using 8.10.

Do a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, this should be fixed in kdebase-workspace 4:4.2.0-0ubuntu1~intrepid2
