plasma-desktop-data hung up

[dibl]

This morning I ran d-u on two siduction plasma5 systems. On my laptop it completed with no issues, but on my desktop rig plasma-desktop-data is not updating and I can't seem to clear the problem. After apt suggests using "-f install" I get this:

I manually removed the file /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/kcm_activities.mo but the message remains the same.  Any ideas?

dpkg --purge kde-l10n-de

[dibl]

Very good hint -- vielen dank!


I also had to dpkg --purge kde-l10n-engb, kde-l10n-pl, and kde-l10n-ptbr.  Then the d-u completed correctly.


Great support!

Right on the money as usual Towo.

Danke Schon.

I was trying to purge using apt-get remove --purge .....

But, for some reason it didn't work.
