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

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.
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.
IME it's *rarely* needed.
Normally aptitude safe-upgrade installs and removes packages as needed.

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...
