Bug Description
Currently KDE and the main versions of KDE aren't compatible. i.e. you can't install mint-meta-kde and mint-meta-gnome since they include packages mint-artwork-kde and mint-background
mint-info-kde and mint-info-gnome also conflict so they shouldn't be included in mint-meta-

I can confirm this.
How to reproduce: packages. linuxmint. com/ lisa-kde main upstream import backport” in /etc/apt/ sources. list
In Mint Lisa (the Gnome version)
Add the line “deb http://
Then “sudo apt-get update” and
“sudo apt-get install mint-meta-kde”
Then you are going to have trouble because it will not install properly. If you then do
~ $ sudo apt-get upgrade kde-extra : Depends: mint-artwork-kde but it is not installed
Depends: mint-artwork-kde but it is not installed

Would be nice with the Mint flavors of both KDE and GNOME in the same installation. Hope this will be fixed.
