KDE catastrophe after June 5 dist-upgrade
Dear maintainers,
I use Debian Testing. Before today, my previous dist-upgrade was on May 28, at
which points all packages were up to date and KDE 5.4 was running smoothly.
Today (June 5) I again dist-upgrade my laptop and now KDE is very broken.
The following is a list of many of the KDE-related packages upgraded today
(others not related to KDE/Qt/KF5/etc were removed to the best of my ability):

After the dist-upgrade I ran apt-get autoremove as I usually do. The following
packages were listed. It seemed strange but I went ahead anyway:

Re: KDE catastrophe after June 5 dist-upgrade
I did safe-upgrade yesterday, from sid. All works nicely. Many others reported such also here. I suggest you carefully check if required packages are installed.

Re: KDE catastrophe after June 5 dist-upgrade
In your list I spotted sddm package to be removed. You better install this first, as this provides the login manager.

Blindly running autoremove is not always a good idea. I run it from time
to time but not always. If disk space is a reason for running it, get a
bigger disk instead of damaging the kde ;)
First i would reinstall all autoremoved packages especially the libkf5*
ones and the sddm as mentioned before. A network connection can be
created without kde, because there should always the good old text based
shell to work with.
I am on testing and be very carefull with updating, because I use this
machine for may daily work and business. Damaging because of having the
newest kde packages is here not an option. This means I read this
mailinglist very carefully, especially the mails from martin. In
addition I wait some days or some more to be sure that there is no huge
bug killing the system. For bugreport information by installting I use
apt-listbugs, apt-listchanges. If a bug comes up when the update runs, I
discard the update and read the bugreport, to decide to update or not.
And the last bastion is a full rsync backup for restoring the whole
machine back to the last state before update. This may sound a bit
pedantic and crazy, but I you are on testing, you do never know what
shows up. And for less adrenalin use stable :)
Good luck,

Just don´t. If apt wants to remove a ton of packages it may be breaking your system. Feel free to ask here first. Cause you basically removed a good part of Plasma and KF with that command. Although I don´t see any sddm removed there, just a config module related to it, and I don´t see anything of the core of Plasma being removed, except maybe systemsettings, but that I think is optional, I think that removing the icon theme, the breeze theme could break things. If you follow Plasma 5 / KF 5 packaging development in Sid or Testing, then get yourself knowledgeable in package management. Things like you mention can happen at various states of packages being build as the order in which packages appear in testing is quite unpredictable in the current Debian development process. For that reason I have a second desktop installed. I choose MATE, cause that is even independent of Qt and C++, which helped a lot in GCC/G++ 5 transition. I suggest you try apt update apt install plasma-desktop plasma-framework sddm I think sddm didn´t get removed, but who knows. There is no "plasma-desktop" mentioned as being removed, yet with the packages that have been removed there cannot be any plasma-desktop meta package installed anymore. Ciao, -- Martin

I don't think one should ever install library packages manually, otherwise there are wrong dependencies listed somewhere. -- WBR, wRAR signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hi Allen! I don't know how long you've been running testing but for the
time being you may find less problems by using both testing and unstable
repos, at some point testing will become stable and then you will no
longer need the unstable repos, but that is far away. Currently while
using both repos, things are looking pretty good. :)

This morning I could upgrade testing to plasma-5.6 without apt wanting to uninstall essential parts. Thanks to all involved!

Re: KDE catastrophe after June 5 dist-upgrade
No need to Cc me. Thanks. On Donnerstag, 9.

Thing is, unintended removal of packages can happen when you upgrade at a point in time where an upload of related packages is only partially processed, compiled and made available in the archive by ftpmasters and the build servers. This is a temporary issue and not anything the maintainers can do much about. Thanks, -- Martin

Martin, Because I had simply dist-upgrade and auto-remove without intending to uninstall any major components, I thought this might be an issue to address with the maintainers, but I understand your points. Thank you very much for the advice. I did what you suggested and everything seems to be fixed now. In the future I will try to better understand the packaging system and the Debian way of doing things. Thanks to the maintainers! I have much respect for the great work they do here. Regards, Allen James
Re: Re: KDE catastrophe after June 5 dist-upgrade
Hi Holger, Sorry this reply is a bit late but I wanted to thank you for taking the time to write all that out for me. I found it to be very useful. I have saved your advice on my disk and will refer to it in the future. Thanks again, Allen
