CAUTION -- python3.7 will remove hplip, libreoffice, etc. etc.

[piper]

When I run apt dist-upgrade I get the following  removals

Code Auswählen Erweitern


The following packages will be REMOVED:
  kde-plasma-desktop kde-standard kinfocenter libclass-xsaccessor-perl libqalculate5v5 plasma-desktop
  plasma-mediacenter plasma-widgets-addons plasma-workspace

Seems kind of drastic if I want to continue using KDE.
Should I continue to wait?

Have you actually read this page?, especially page 2

Can you post the whole output of

Code Auswählen Erweitern

apt -s install libqalculate20

@Piper: Yes, had already read pages on this thread.
Context was lost amongst the rants about holding back packages.

Ok, do

Code Auswählen Erweitern

apt update; apt install libqalculate20

Let it remove libqalculate5-data libqalculate5v5,

plasma-workspace will be updated.

When that is done, do

Code Auswählen Erweitern

apt update; apt full-upgrade

You *should be good to go, if you aren't sure about anything, post the output of any errors or removals.

[bad_aptitude]

@piper
this worked perfectly. No errors and no removals with apt full-upgrade.
Booted into KDE - no problems


Thanks

[piper]

Glad it worked

Don't thank me, thank finotti

[finotti]

What was weird is that in two of my systems apt wanted to remove a lot of plasma packages (solved as above) while in a third it just replaced libqalculate5v5 with libqalculate20 and upgrade plasma without any removals (as it should).  I have no idea what the difference was...

[piper]

It could of been just good timing of the transition at the time → auto-libqalculate (100%)

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

I didn't held packages.
So, I am looking for advices: should I do an upgrade first (a procedure that I never used before) and then a full-upgrade?
Thanks

[der_bud]

Here,  libkf5iconthemes-bin is installed as 5.51-0.1, perhaps your mirror was not up-to-date when you tried? Do apt update again, and then check apt-cache policy libkf5iconthemes-bin. Have you already tried apt-get install -f ?

[piper]

libsane1 ibqalculate5v5

Is the problem

Code Auswählen Erweitern

apt install libsane libqalculate20

[jyp]

@der-bud

Code Auswählen Erweitern

apt policy libkf5iconthemes-bin
libkf5iconthemes-bin:
  Installed: 5.49.0-1
  Candidate: 5.51.0-1
@piperYes, but libqalculate20 would need <apt install -f> maybe.

Code Auswählen Erweitern

apt policy libqalculate20
libqalculate20:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.8.0-2
Would <apt upgrade> be a proper first step?

Can I see the output of

The  libkf5wallet-bin is because of qtbase-opensource-src (auto) and more

Is there a way out besides "patience" ?
