In your list I spotted sddm package to be removed. You better install this first, as this provides the login manager. Luc
I did safe-upgrade yesterday, from sid. All works nicely. Many others reported such also here. I suggest you carefully check if required packages are installed.

I use Debian Testing. Before today, my previous dist-upgrade was on May 28, at
which points all packages were up to date and KDE 5.4 was running smoothly.
Today (June 5) I again dist-upgrade my laptop and now KDE is very broken.
The following is a list of many of the KDE-related packages upgraded today
(others not related to KDE/Qt/KF5/etc were removed to the best of my ability):

After the dist-upgrade I ran apt-get autoremove as I usually do. The following
packages were listed. It seemed strange but I went ahead anyway:

After this operation, 198 MB disk space will be freed.
Now, after reboot, Plasma does not start ("Plasma Cannot Start. All shell
packages missing."), I cannot connect to the internet, there is no krunner, etc,
basically huge problems. Concerned about this because I had maintained my laptop
on Debian Testing using KDE for almost 3 years without any major issue. Is there
a way to restore what I previously had, or is there any advice regarding this?
Thank you.
