Just a few notes by me:

1) only do apt-get upgrade, no dist-upgrade until dist-upgrade does not want 
to remove any packages you care about anymore.

2) keep breeze at 5.3.2-1:

martin@merkaba:~> cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/apt-listbugs

Explanation:   #794581: /usr/bin/kwin_x11: crashes when starting first window
Package: breeze
Pin: version 4:5.3.2-3
Pin-Priority: 3

3) If Amarok, Digikam or other Qt4 applications that use phonon crash on start 
and you use phonon VLC backend, try to switch to gstreamer, if that doesn´t 
work, it didn´t here, remove phonon vlc backend packages temporarily. This 
helped here. See bug 

794937: Applications crash with phonon-backend-vlc

Ciao,

  I'm currently awaiting for a big upgrade in sid. I'm not doing this upgrade 
(that looks you did) because doing it would remove kdepim. Probably others 
would be removed as well but keeping kdepim is a must for me.

  As far as I can see this is a consequence of the gcc 5 transition. More 
specificaly, current libstdc++6 (5.2.1-15) breaks libkolabxml1 which is a 
dependency kdepim in the end relies on.

  If I'm correct, it has already been reported that libkolabxml1 copes with 
libstdc++6 but until gcc-5 package is updated considering this fact you won't 
be able (easily) to upgrade any package that depends on gcc-5 including kdepim 
dependencies.

  So still waiting.

  HTH,

GCC 5 transition

2015-08-11 Thread anxiousmac
A week ago I stupidly upgraded my unstable amd64 system whilst half asleep 
(muon does not seem as insistent on warning you about potential removals), 
losing kontact, muon and a few other things.

I was also affected by the need to downgrade breeze to get the desktop to boot.

I can see enormous amounts of work going on on the qt-kde mailing list, so this 
is not any sort of a complaint, but does anyone know how long it might be 
before I can reinstall the lost packages?

I have been quite good at fixing my unstable problems over the years, but this 
one has me a bit beaten. Do I still need to hold the breeze packages too?
