Package: kde-plasma-desktop
Version: 5:111
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

On a fresh install install of Bullseye the kde-plasma-desktop
metapackage was installed as per information at
https://wiki.debian.org/KDE   kde-plasma-desktop was chosen as the most
minimal option for installing KDE.

However kwin-x11 is not installed which results in windows not having
titlebars and borders.  And systemsettings is not installed which
results in there being no System Settings application to configure KDE.

Other components are also missing as the following sections in
systemsettings, after systemssettings was manually installed, are not working: 
Global Theme, Plasma Style, Colors, Icons, and Cursors.

Hi,


agreed with Norbert so I’m closing this bug.


If you can identify some specific dependencies in the tree where the « recommends » relation is not tight enough and you think we should have a « depends » instead we can review them, but as is this bug report is not really actionable.



Happy hacking !
