Hello!
I have a little problem with KDE in Debian stable. Until last night my computer was running Debian stable and worked just fine but I borked it playing with some packages from backports so today I fully reinstalled it. After a clean Debian stable instalation I noticed KDE takes a looong time to load since I enter the password until it is usable.
Until yesterday it was about two seconds from password intro key to a fully loaded KDE session but today with a clean install it takes about 20 seconds to load. I revised logs but I can't find nothing obvious: it starts to load things, makes a pause of almost 10 seconds and then it logs this:

Then another 8- 10 second pause followed by some plasmashell messages and the KDE appears on screen.
Any idea what can be the problem?
Thank you in advance
