You can force install the file with:

dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-icons-oxygen_4-0x1.5a3c600000001p-54.2.85-0ubuntu2~jaunty1~ppa2_all.deb

The icon is accidentally already provided by another packages, but just overwriting won't do any harm. After the above, run:

sudo apt-get install -f

and continue your upgrade.

No it won't work for me. The failed installation seems to remove the installation file before I can get to it.
