Hello dear Debian KDE maintainers, It seems that my current unstable system is......hardly stable..:-)
After a huge dist-upgrade (following 3 weeks where I didn't do any update at all), I now have a barely usable KDE environment. I don't follow things closely but I seem to be in the middle of a KDE 4->5 transition.....but stuck in it..:-) First attempt: root@mykerinos:/home/cperrier# LC_ALL=C apt-get install kde-full Reading package lists...
