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:
root@Hibiscus:~# apt-get -f install

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
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.
Thank you, helped me too. Much appreciated.
