Bug Description

At the very moment it is impossible to install the Kubuntu-Active metapackage, because the package Contour contains duplicate files.

Selecting previously unselected package contour-data.
Unpacking contour-data (from .../contour-data_3.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/contour-data_3.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-dataengine-recommendations.desktop', which is also in package plasma-active-data 1:0.5-0ubuntu1

I tried this with a fresh install from the Saucy mini.iso. Refer to the non-working iso of Kubuntu Active (09-19-2013), which start to plain X with black background and the X mouse cursor, nothing else. I attach the full logs from APT. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Thank you!
