WARNING: Qt 5.15.1 Transition followed by Plasma 5.20.1

[samoht]

@tomsiduction,

I suspect the reason is the "memory hunger" of the updated Debian packages gcc-10, cpp-10 and g++-10.
Compare:
Package: gcc-10
Version: 10.2.0-16                Version: 10.2.0-15
Installed Size: 340 MB         Installed Size: 58.8 MB
Package: cpp-10
Version: 10.2.0-16               Version: 10.2.0-15
Installed-Size: 312 MB         Installed-Size: 28,9 MB
Package: g++-10
Version: 10.2.0-16               Version: 10.2.0-15
Installed Size: 342 MB         Installed Size: 30.6 MB

Maybe someone knows some advice why these packages have become so "voluminous"?

Holy moley, that's an unbelievably huge size increase. I suspect the packagers may have stuffed up.
There's a bug report about it - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=973545

@sunrat,

thanks for hinting to that bugreport.

...
*   Also enable the extra checking on amd64, arm64, ppc64el, s390x, and don't
    strip the executables. This will be reverted within a few weeks, please
    don't send bug reports about that.

I should have noticed that.

Update: As most of you might have noticed, the transition to Qt 5.15.1 is finished. So dist-upgrade should show zero removals for now and hence can be used. Now we are waiting for Plasma 5.19.5.2, that might come in clean or not. So keep your eyes peeled for possible removals or other disturbances.

Update: Wie die meisten von euch vielleicht bemerkt haben, ist der Übergang zu Qt 5.15.1 abgeschlossen. Daher sollte dist-upgrade vorerst keine Entfernungen anzeigen und kann daher verwendet werden. Jetzt warten wir auf Plasma 5.19.5.2, das vielleicht sauber reinkommt oder auch nicht. Haltet also die Augen nach möglichen Entfernungen oder anderen Störungen offen.

@finotti

had a package qt5-default installed, and it had a conflict with the new Qt

Thanks my system was still at removing most of KDE, just removing that one package now it goes through with no removals.
How did you find that that package was the culprit?

aptitude told me.  I tried "aptitude dist-upgrade" and it proposed removing that package as an alternative.  I quit, and did it manually with apt to see what would happen.

I'm glad it helped someone!
