• Plasma 5.23 25th Annivery Release coming to unstable

    From Martin Steigerwald@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 14 17:20:01 2021
    Hi!

    Just that. Norbert uploaded it to unstable.

    As I learned in #debian-qt-kde IRC channel, KDecoration went to
    experimental, instead of unstable, so you may need to get it from there
    until Norbert or someone else uploads it to unstable.

    As usually take care with "apt dist-upgrade". Wait until the builds are complete.

    Best,

    The best way to do that is not using *dist*-upgrade but the
    normal/safe- upgrade method ...

    Sometimes dist upgrade might be necessary as new packages are introduced
    or old ones are removed. Trying dist upgrade also often gives a good
    indication whether the builds are complete.

    On the other hand the dependencies of the packages should make sure they
    are all in a consistent version, I think.

    IME it's *rarely* needed.
    Normally aptitude safe-upgrade installs and removes packages as needed.
    There is a common (?) misconception that it doesn't do that.

    What it does not, is remove packages that are marked as *manually* installed because that indicates that you (apparently) had a reason to explicitly
    install it.
    If "aptitude search '~i!~M'" returns (many) packages that you don't think should be marked as manually installed, that indicates that the 'state' of those packages are probably wrong.
    With "aptitude markauto <pkg>" or "apt-mark auto <pkg>" you can change that.

    HTH,
    Diederik

    Hi all,

    please do not upgrade Plasma to 5.23 for the time being.

    Unfortunately, the upload is not complete and upgrading only half of the packages can leave Plasma in an unusable state.
    If you already have upgraded some packages, please downgrade them to the version in testing (5.21.5) or whatever version you were using before.

    We are sorry for this.

    Thank you for notifying.

    No problem for me. Its called Debian unstable and things like that can
    happen.

    Thank you very much for your work!

    I beg to disagree. Here you speak about *aptitude* which is a tool that
    is not the plain apt tool itself. You could also say things for dselect, synaptic, discover...

    With apt-get, you have to use dist-upgrade quite often because as other
    have pointed out, you cannot add or remove packages without dist-upgrade.

    Clearly to install libkdecorations2-5v5, you will need apt-get
    dist-upgrade. And the libkdecorations2-5v5 that was wrongly put in
    experimental does break the unstable version...

    apt upgrade, as opposed to apt-get upgrade, can install new packages.

    Yep ;-P
    After installing (also) the updates from the 08:00 (CEST) repo update round,
    it worked again *for me* (afaict).
    But as Martin said, it's called Unstable for a reason ;)

    Cheers,

    Hi everyone,

    thanks Patrick for the important and correct message.

    Just to make one thing clear: this is solely my fault due to an
    oversight that a certain package needs NEW processing. I am sorry for
    the confusion and we a trying to mitigate it.

    Thanks

    Norbert

    Interesting information. I was not aware of that.
