Bug Description

Just upgraded a dapper+kde3.2 box and the update of kscreensaver fails like so:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kscreensaver_4%3a3.5.2-0ubuntu3_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/KBanner.desktop', which is also in package kscreensaver-xsavers

I was sure I reported this before (the previous upgrade did the same thing) but I can't find the bug.

Another upgrade, another failure. If someone can tell me which package (kscreensaver-xsavers or kscreensaver) shouldn't have KBanner.desktop I'll happily provide a debdiff.

Should be fixed now in Dapper; would you please try to update & upgrade your computer, and say if it still happens? (Please report which versions of kscreensaver-xsavers, kscreensaver and kdeartwork you have if it still fails.)
