Just started a d-u and there is a tonne of new packages to be installed. Mostly KDE and QT Stuff. I run XFCE so I don't know why all this stuff is going to be installed. Anyone else seeing this or have an explanation?

I believe the KDE transition is happening 5.25 to 5.26. I'm surprised update went so well this morning, We should all be careful the next few days.
@eriefisher,
Try this 'apt full-upgrade sddm-theme-breeze- sddm-theme-debian-breeze-'
Maybe sddm is the one who wants that tonnes of kde packages, if this doesn't work try
to add another sddm theme without kde/plasma/kf5 (breeze) dependences like sddm-theme-maya (as an example)
'apt full-upgrade sddm-theme-breeze- sddm-theme-debian-breeze- sddm-theme-maya+'
Which sddm-theme you are using?
Thanks for the suggestions hendrikL but I don't use sddm. I use lightdm. Back when I installed this system I was having trouble with sddm so I switched to lightdm and the problems and associated KDE/QT packages went away. That was about two years ago. This du looks to try and install KDE overtop of XFCE4.
apt purge sddm, if i understand and. read what is getting to be updated.
Edit, maybe you have some leftovers which are pulling the kde packages?
dpkg and grep are your friends in that case.
That was it hendrikL. Sddm must have been pulled back in with something. I had removed previously. D-U seem to be progressing normally.
