#
# Upgrade: libkdecorations2-5v5:amd64 (4:5.17.5-2, 4:5.19.5-3)
debsnap -d . --binary -a amd64 libkdecorations2-5v5 4:5.17.5-2
# Upgrade: libkf5screen-bin:amd64 (4:5.17.5-3, 4:5.19.5-3)

             libkf5screen-bin_5.17.5-2_amd64.deb
#

     | sed -e 's/install/hold/' > plasma_upgrade_5-19.hold
dpkg --get-selections \* | grep -P '^libkf5screen' \
     | sed -e 's/install/hold/' >> plasma_upgrade_5-19.hold
sudo dpkg --set-selections < plasma_upgrade_5-19.hold
#
# Install: libkdecorations2private7:amd64 (4:5.19.5-3, automatic)
