Bug#1085139: plasma-desktop 4:6.2.0-1 is uninstallable on a fresh chroot
Package: plasma-desktop
Version: 4:6.2.0-1
Severity: grave
I asked around on #debian-kde before filing this bug, but I don't think
there was a clear answer there. I'm not sure if you're welcoming bugs
against experimental, but I figured that part of uploading to
experimental is to iron out bugs before Plasma 6 lands in unstable, so
here goes :)
On a fresh Debian unstable+experimental system (podman run --rm -it debian:sid):
root@2ee2b937c602:~# apt install -t experimental plasma-desktop
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Unsatisfied dependencies:
kwin-common : Depends: libpipewire-0.3-0t64 (>= 0.3.29) but it is not installable
libkf5iconthemes5 : Depends: qtbase-abi-5-15-13
Recommends: libkf5iconthemes-bin (= 5.115.0-2+b1) but it is not going to be installed
libkpipewire6 : Depends: libpipewire-0.3-0t64 (>= 0.3.1) but it is not installable
plasma5-integration : Depends: qml-module-org-kde-qqc2desktopstyle but it is not going to be installed

qml6-module-org-kde-pipewire : Depends: libpipewire-0.3-0t64 (>= 0.3.1) but it is not installable
Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I've also tried with apt --solver 3.0, as well as with manually
installing some dependencies but couldn't get it to install. IIRC it has
been this way for a while now, even with 6.1.0.
Installing plasma-desktop from unstable (apt install plasma-desktop),
and then upgrading to experimental (apt install -t experimental
plasma-desktop) seems to do the trick, albeit with a lot of cruft.
Thanks,
