same here.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60541/

workaround: sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/konqueror_4%3a3.5.9-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
konqueror version might be different/warning this might be dangerous

(thanks to nosrednaekim on irc.freenode.net / #kubuntu )

if you have questions just hit me on irc freenode or via mail (FliPsTaR a_t Ish.de)

Same here....

That workaround ain't working for me... "no such file or directory"...

Same bug here...

[Alek (shadowthorek)]

Another one here. Can't install konqueror and have to uninstall kde package entirely 'cause even apt-get autoremove fails.

same here... had to uninstall kde. but cannot uninstall kio-umountwrapper

[Gannon8 (runescaper500)]

Yeah, it did it to me when I was installing kubuntu-desktop with apt-get.

[Gannon8 (runescaper500)]

Grr, I can't install/uninstall anything with apt-get now =(

[hara (harak-iitm)]

Gannon,

                   I completely uninstalled UBUNTU. In place of it i installed Kubuntu Remix + upgrades. Not a solution but KDE4 looks great...
On top of it you can install Gnome.

Workaround regardless of Konqueror version:

sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/konqueror_*.deb

[Nofre Móra Sagreres (keidon)]

I resolve the problem with this:
sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/kio*.deb
