I had trouble with that, but not only. Managing to run Kubuntu in my computer
was impossible, it crashed at every login after the first install.
One of the problems I found was the one you mention. It warns that the
previous version of the file is used by kdenetwork and won't allow the
upgrade. It also deletes /etc/kderc that I suppose is needed by the Kubuntu
version of KDE.
That said, I managed to solve the problem, in a radical way I confess, I
decided to install Ubuntu and from there install the needed files to have
Kubuntu (remember that Kubuntu is just Ubuntu with KDE instead of Gnome).
The process is very simple:
1 - Install Ubuntu.
2 - Run Synaptic, install kdelibs (last version) and upgrade all your
packages.
3 - Go to http://www.ubuntuguide.org/ and follow the instructions on how to
install Kubuntu from Ubuntu (it's really simple and straigthforward).
That's what I did and now the system is rock solid. I guess that many had the
same problem with the install CD for Kubuntu 5.04 and just gave up installing
it, and that is a shame because it's really a great system. It still has some
glitches but minor ones that I suppose will go away with time.
Best of lucks,
Antonio
