Maybe the reason is as easy as mirror not yet having been complete. I
upgraded again after the major upgrade and plasma-desktop was upgraded to
6.2.3-1. So maybe some temporary not yet all was complete thing.
Look carefully whether apt wants to remove plasma-workspace and
kde-plasma-desktop. If it does for testing purposes it would be kind of
you could wait a bit more to see whether it goes through at a later time.
Otherwise make sure you install them again.
