Hi, could you check running needrestart as root on cli if you have any pending restarts?
You might try to reinstall a lib to trigger needrestart (i.e. via apt- get install --reinstall libnss3 - this *should* not break anything) to force to get a pending restarts. Please check if needrestart and debconf-kde-helper are working when using KDE Discover afterwards.
