Running Ubuntu 16.04 MATE & tried to install Kubuntu Desktop via Ubuntu Software Center.
Now stuck in apt-get install-f loop which prevents installing anything else. here's a log from trying to install synaptic post-bug

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kde-telepathy-minimal : Depends: kde-config-telepathy-accounts (>= 15.04.0) but it is not going to be installed
synaptic : Depends: libept1.5.0 but it is not going to be installed Recommends: rarian-compat but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
