This is the details of when the system tries to repair the problem above when opening the Ubuntu Software Center.

When I find the "KDE Control Module ... Accounts kde-config-telepathy-accounts"
in Ubuntu Software Center after cancelling the attempted repair [details below] The button is marked "Install" instead of "Remove" which means I cannot un-install it or repair it.

Now when I open Ubuntu Software Center I receive:

"New software can't be installed, because there is a problem with the software currently installed. Do you want to repair the problem now? Cancel Repair"

If I select Repair I get:
"Package operation failed. The installation or removal of a software package failed"
