Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[vaibhav singh (rockey1)]

you can solve it by these two methods.
sudo dpkg -P unity-scope-gdrive account-plugin-google account-plugin-facebook

and

sudo apt -f install

its occurring due to overwrite problem since it cant do it by default either use the above code in terminal or find the root package causing it and force overwrite it.

Find it by this code below.

sudo find /var/cache -name "kde-config-telepathy-accounts*"
then,
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite "write the location of package without quotes."

And
 sudo apt-get -f install
