Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: important

My previous release is: buster (fully updated)
I am upgrading to: bullseye
Archive date: Fri Apr 23 14:17:55 UTC 2021
Upgrade date: Fri Apr 23 16:00:00 UTC 2021
uname -a before upgrade: Linux hostname 4.19.0-16-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.181-1 (2021-03-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux uname -a after upgrade: Linux hostname 5.10.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.28-1 (2021-04-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux 
Method: apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs && apt full-upgrade
I have now upgraded three different machines from (fully updated) Buster to Bullseye, and all three times KDE Plasma was not usable afterwards. 

Symptoms:
- No panels are shown and instead of the desktop/background the screen is black. - Right-click on the desktop works, but the settings do not allow me to set a background image. - Pressing the super key opens the launcher menu, next to where the panel should be shown. 
- Alt+Tab works, kwin is running normally
- krunner was unusable on two of the machines, but worked on the third. 

I think the same problems was described by a reddit user here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/li4vvc/debian_bullseye_has_entered_softfreeze/gnbp9up/?context=3

WORKAROUND:
The problem goes away after reinstalling everything that is installed and has "plasma" in the name, but unfortunately I cannot say which of those package reinstalls is actually doing the trick:
sudo apt install --reinstall kdeplasma-addons-data libkf5plasma5:amd64 libkf5plasmaquick5:amd64 libplasma-geolocation-interface5 libreoffice-plasma plasma-dataengines-addons:amd64 plasma-desktop plasma-desktop-data plasma-disks plasma-framework plasma-integration plasma-nm plasma-pa plasma-runners-addons:amd64 plasma-wallpapers-addons:amd64 plasma-widgets-addons plasma-workspace plasma-workspace-data
After this and logging out and back in, all of KDE Plasma works as normal.

Hi Malvin,

> So if nobody besides me reports this, maybe this bug should just be closed?

Since we didn't get any similar report, let us close this report for
now. If we get more of the same or you can reproduce it, please feel
free to reopen.

Thanks and all the best

Norbert
