Thanks hendrikl

this morning hplip and LibreOffice are among those apps to get removed.

OBS Studio in sid (28.0.1+dfsg1-3) doesn't like Python3 3.11 either, but DMO version (1:28.1.2-dmo2) is ok.

Got a complete system breakdown after full-upgrade.

Error message I got first:

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-numpy_1%3a1.24.1-2amd64.deb (unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/f2py', which is also in package python-numpy 1:1.16.5-5
dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

apt --fix-broken install

did not help (same error)

Then rebooting led to my laptop not booting into KDE. Booting stops half-way. I don't even have a network with ethernet-cable.

It seems that this problem breaks down KDE or Plasma.

Any solutions?

--- UPDATE ---

i was able to get my system to boot again after putting python3-numpy on hold and then apt --fix-broken install. Full upgrade finished and I could boot again.
But still no network ...

I had the same problem.  The solution was to remove python-numpy (and keep python3-numpy).

Removing python-numpy did not work for me. I got a lot of dependency errors.
Putting python3-numpy on hold did.

I actually did "apt purge python-numpy"...  It worked in two of my machines.

Network works again.
Still some missing functionality in Plasma.
I hope this will resolve itself over the next couple of days.

Is it possible that you ran a full-upgrade that also (unintentionally) removed some packages? This would at least explain that some KDE/Plasma functionality has been lost.
A full-upgrade should only be confirmed if you do not lose any essential packages.

In the meantime a full-upgrade should not cause any problems. However, this cannot fix sins of the past.

It's possible some packages were unintentionally removed.
Is there an easy way to reinstall Plasma completely?

Have a closer look at /var/log/apt/history.log, there you can see what happened and reinstall the packages needed.

I reinstalled with:

apt install --reinstall kde-plasma-desktop
And that did the trick.
Everything functional again.
