I'm unable to repair programs through either use of the terminal or synaptic package manager. I keep getting this message.
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-config-telepathy-accounts_15.04.1-0ubuntu1~ubuntu15.04~ppa1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/accounts/services/google-im.service', which is also in package account-plugin-google 0.12+15.04.20150415.1-0ubuntu2
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/kde-config-telepathy-accounts_15.04.1-0ubuntu1~ubuntu15.04~ppa1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
It seems that parts of KDE remained after I uninstalled kubuntu desktop. This is preventing me from installing or uninstalling programs.
help appreciated!

You can not both packages (
kde-config-telepathy-accounts
andaccount-plugin-google
) installed at the same time, because the file/usr/share/accounts/services/google-im.service
is included in both packages.The package
kde-config-telepathy-accounts
is installed through a PPA, which you added to your system. The officially package package does not have this problem.Therefore, purge the PPA or remove the package
kde-config-telepathy-accounts
viaOR
remove the package
account-plugin-google
