I was one of them and the problem was because I used plasma-discover (for the first time) on my laptop to update packages instead of aptitude what I normally do. While it did update several packages, it removed several others like plasma-desktop, plasma-workspace, sddm and a bunch of other critical packages for KDE *without* informing me about it and thus completely broke my KDE system. The DD in question didn't pay proper intention and missed that the upgrade on his system would remove sddm and others. On my desktop PC, I have several packages that don't get upgraded with 'aptitude safe-upgrade' precisely because it would brake things. If I'd do 'aptitude full-upgrade' it would indeed remove a bunch of packages, including plasma-desktop and thus I don't do that. > > I do think however it would be good to have all of plasma at same major > > version at least.

And that's precisely what's now being enforced and thus 'aptitude safe- upgrade' won't upgrade to these latest packages until all relevant packages are at the same versions.
