Hi, I just tested whether adding the staging-misc ppa solves the problem. Unfortunately, it does not! More importantly, it seems like there are still files in conflict that are not mentioned in bug 1565772. Hence, I fear that this will not be solved even if bug 1565772 is resolved.

("/usr/share/accounts/services/google-im.service" which is also in "account-plugin-google")

It is important to say that the problem appears then configuring "kde-config-telepathy-accounts" which is not contained in the above mentioned PPA for xenial. This explains why it cannot be fixed.

Finally, I highly recommend that the Kubuntu quality testers should add the following extremely simple test case:
- install ubuntu (standard, no changes)
- sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

The expected behavior is that one should get a system where the user can select between unity and kde. In current Ubuntu 16.04, however, one gets install conflicts. (In general, one should be able to install the meta-packages of all flavors in parallel.)
