Brad I'm just going to look at your apps and I see gimp & digikam, in 
Sid both are installable, from what I understand currently all apps are 
installable.  Sid is upstream and I will probably be running Sid for the 
next few months before switching back to Stretch.

Upstream is a new Debian system and Plasma 5 is a new Desktop and you 
have old crud on your system.

I'm running 5 plasma-5 systems and they are all clean, what I did was 
run package 'upgrade-system' and let it have its way with my system and 
it showed me what a mess I was running, after upgrade system was done I 
reinstalled anything that was missing with no problem and this was on 5 
plasma-5 systems.

On Sept 15th Debian reported everybody upstream should be able to have a 
clean updated system and they are on spot as far as I can see.
