SUMMARY The latest k3b package in KDE Neon Testing Edition fails to upgrade. Discover and apt fix broken install fail to overwrite files used by k3b and k3b-data. It looks like some files got moved between the 2 packages. It seems k3b now has files that k3b-data has and vice versa. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have k3b installed. 2. Enable the neon testing repo. 3. Update k3b to 24.12.3 OBSERVED RESULT After doing an offline update, Discover reports that "Failed to update 1 package": "Error while installing package: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.kde.k3b.service', which is also in package k3b-data 24.12.3-0zneon+24.04+noble+release+build14". Attempting to repair also fails with the "Repair Failed" message. EXPECTED RESULT Update completes successfully.

This is resolved in 24.12.3+p24.04+vstable+git20250408.0938-0 which I fetched just now. k3b and k3b-data now upgrade without issue.
