Come on Gary, you've been on this ML long enough to know that KDE is
going through some *massive* changes ATM. The path from KDE4 to
KF5/Plasma is far from an easy one to tread. Not least because of the
change to GCC v5. KF5/Plasma is very, /very/ different from KDE4. It's
not a huge surprise, to me at any rate, that some packages don't (yet)
have their dependencies sorted out fully.
If one finds, when doing an update, it's necessary to remove large
numbers of packages to get everything updated then one should pause and
consider; Do I really want to lose half of my software suite? Usually
the answer is "no". In that case, see what can be updated without
ripping the heart out of your system.
Testing sometimes has breakage. Sometimes that breakage is big. You
just have to deal with it. If you can't....
....there's always stable.
