Bug Description

Plasma-widget-icon-task became officially part of KDE 4.8. It is part of plasma-widget-addons package.

If someone have plasma-widget-icon-tasks installed from external source in oneiric, that icontasks will brake upgrade to KDE 4.8 because it cannot be overwrited with icontasks from KDE 4.8 plasma-widget-addons package.

When I was upgrading, it broke my upgrade. Then I managed to remove external plasma-widget-icon-tasks without removing its dependencies with this command: sudo dpkg -r --force-depends plasma-widget-icon-tasks. After removing external icontasks, upgrade to 4.8 finished successfully.

Thank you for taking your time to report this bug and helping to make kubuntu better. I'll make the official package replace the external one as it seems to be rather popular.

This is fixed in precise, but as I backported the package before that it's not fixed in the PPA yet
