Errors encountered when installing kubuntu on 15.04

Question

I ran:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

and after it gave me this error message:

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-config-telepathy-accounts_15.04.1-0ubuntu1~ubuntu15.04~ppa1_i386.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_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

and whenever I try to install a new program or run the suggested solution to this problem, which was mentioned after I tried to install another program, sudo apt-get -f install I get the same error message again.

EDIT: Requested outputs.

sudo apt-get --configure -a

gives this (too large to fit in the question).

sudo apt-get install -f

gives:

Sure did, just added it to my question, sorry I forgot it at first. — Josh Pinto, Jun 10 '15 at 04:14
Add output of these, `sudo dpkg --configure -a` , `sudo apt-get install -f` , `cat /etc/apt/sources.list` — Sharad Gautam, Jun 10 '15 at 04:17

That is the problem:

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-config-telepathy-accounts_15.04.1-0ubuntu1~ubuntu15.04~ppa1_i386.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

Therefore two command in a terminal:

sudo apt-get purge account-plugin-google
sudo apt-get install -f

I saw the attached link.

I think you need to do:-

sudo apt-get remove --purge kde-telepathy-minimal
sudo apt-get remove --purge kde-telepathy

Also, try to remove orphaned packages using apt-get autoremove

EDIT: If that didn't work, try installing Aptitude:

Install aptitude:

sudo apt-get aptitude

Run it:

sudo aptitude purge kde-telepathy
sudo aptitude purge kde-telepathy-minimal

Both give the same error: `Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies. kde-telepathy : Depends: kde-telepathy-minimal (= 15.04.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu15.04~ppa2) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).` – Josh Pinto Jun 10 '15 at 04:38
@BrentonHorne you somehow need to remove those two packages! Try the edited answer after running a `apt-get autoremove` – Sharad Gautam Jun 10 '15 at 04:53
