Sorry, I meant to write "apt-get dist-upgrade" in that email, not 
"apt-get update" - update and upgrade work fine, it's dist-upgrade that 
gives those errors.

I don't know - the medey-package-config package added quite a few 
different repositories to my sources.list and I don't know how to find 
out which files are coming from where.  I don't use kde, though, so I'm 
not particularly fussed about these doc files, I just want to be able to 
run dist-upgrade.
