However, during the last Plasma update there was a dependency bug in kwin. After a "safe" upgrade testing systems booted into a black screen. https://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2021/10/msg00045.html Sometimes the user should _not_ be faulted for a broken system :-)

Re: Plasma 5.24 coming to testing
Hi everyone, I am facing a small bug/problem/new feature. I use a left handed mouse but the configuration is not saved every time I plug/unplug the mouse. It was working before the upgrade (left handled with the mouse, right handled with the touch mouse).

A quick look at man:/apt didn't show a '-s' from simulate being present, but if you have aptitude installed, I know it supports that. But 'even' apt upgrade should ask for a confirmation before doing an actual upgrade. So if that looks sane, then go for it. If it doesn't, then don't. And maybe stop using dist-upgrade by default? The normal (safe-)upgrade is most of the time all you need. HTH, Diederik signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: Plasma 5.24 coming to testing
Is it safe to upgrade in testing yet? There are dozens of packages in the update queue and I'm afraid to hit dist-upgrade after the previous Plasma upgrade hobbled my computer for over a month.
