KDE/Plasma for Debian – Update 2022/8
Monthly update on KDE/Plasma on Debian: Updates to Frameworks and KDE Gears
I have packaged KDE Gears 22.08 as well as the latest frameworks, and Plasma got a point release. The status is as follows (all for Debian/stable, testing, unstable:
- Frameworks: 5.97
- Gears: 22.08.0
- Plasma 5.25: 5.25.4
- Plasma 5.24 LTS: 5.24.6
I repeat (and update) instructions for all here, updated to use deb822 format (thanks to various comments on the blog here):

Usual disclaimer: Considering that I don’t have a user-facing Debian computer anymore, all these packages are only tested by third parties and not by myself. Be aware!
Yep. I was able to install 2208. ‘aptitude upgrade’ did the job. Thanks!!!
Hello,
Thanks for your great work !
Please, could you add kalendarac package and recompile digikam for a complete build with 22.08
I’m trying to compile digikam, but there are errors. I need to check the mailing lists for possible fixes.
Kalendar is already in 22.08, what do you mean?
kalendarac is the reminder daemon. It comes from
❯ apt showsrc kalendarac
Package: akonadi-calendar
Binary: kalendarac, libkf5akonadicalendar-data, libkf5akonadicalendar-dev, libkf5akonadicalendar5abi1
Version: 4:22.04.3-2
Hi Norbert, it’s your libkf5akonadicalendar-bin that is named kalendarac in Debian repository and that is a dependency of the kdepim meta package.
Interesting, thanks for the information, I will sync with Debian on that.
Synced the package renaming from Debian over to here.
kalendarac is the reminder dameon. It comes from
“`
❯ apt showsrc kalendarac
Package: akonadi-calendar
Binary: kalendarac, libkf5akonadicalendar-data, libkf5akonadicalendar-dev, libkf5akonadicalendar5abi1
Version: 4:22.04.3-2
“`
See other comment, packages have been renamed it seems. Will fix soon.
Gears packages work fine in Debian unstable. digikam still missing, as Norbert posted above.
Norbert, thank you very much!
digikam is now there, too.
Could you please update the package revision to supercedes debian one ? Or give a straightforward way to pin your repo.
It is one purpose that I keep version numbers below those of Debian, since those are the authoritative ones.
Which package in particular are you concerned? And are you running sid or another suite?
I can give a pinning code later on, but the easiest way is to pin on the origin and use the obs url
Thanks (very much) for your work! An “up to date” environment on a stable system, it’s the perfect world…
Thank you so much for your great work!
I am still using Plasma 5.24 on Debian 11 and have changed the line “apps2204” to “apps2208” in the sources.
It worked fine, but the update aborted with an error message:

After “apt update” and “apt dist-upgrade” again, the upgrade went through without errors.
The package “libk3b8-extracodecs” is not present. “libk3b7-extracodecs” has been removed. “libk3b8” is installed.
Hi! Same experience here but on my case, following the above error I did to fix the broken installs:
$ sudo apt -f install
Remaining packages were installed, the package “libk3b8-extracodecs” did not installand the “libk3b7-extracodecs” remained installed:

I just pushed a new version that should deal with that by conflicting with the old version.
Thanks, now it works perfectly!
Hi Norbert! Just to say thank you and that it’s great to see you back in the game. If you aren’t you should! If you don’t mind me saying, I believe that the best way to make a stand is to keep doing it as you do best! One man consistently doing a better and faster work than a whole dedicated team. Quite an achievement and a statement in itself! Disturbing for sure. The rest will come as a consequence over time I’m sure.
Dear Norbert,
today I upgraded my Debian 11 Bullseye with Plasma 5.24.6 from Frameworks 5.96 to 5.97 and from Gears 22.04.3 to 22.08.
Nearly everthing went smoothly, even KTorrent 22.08 seems to have installed and uses Frameworks 5.97…
There is just one little thing: libkf5guiaddons-bin won’t update from 5.96 to 5.97, neither with apt upgrade nor with apt full-upgrade.
When I try to install it explicitly with apt install over 200 packages will be removed…
I guess it must be some kind of dependency issue?
Thanks again and a lot for your work and have a nice day!
Today I got the update from Frameworks 5.97 to 5.98 for my Debian 11 Bullseye with Plasma 5.24.6 – thank you for your continuing work!
Everything updated just fine, unfortunately “libkf5guiaddons-bin” remains at version 5.96:
“libkf5guiaddons-bin/unbekannt 5.98.0-1~np1 amd64 [aktualisierbar von: 5.96.0-1~np2]”
Die folgenden Pakete sind zurückgehalten worden:
libkf5guiaddons-bin
It is the same behaviour as with the update from Frameworks 5.96 to 5.97…
Any suggestions?
Not all packages were built, so you did a partial upgrade, not good. Now everything should be there.
Indeed, there was another handful of updates today – and now every single one did update to Frameworks 5.97, including “the old” libkf5guiaddons-bin 5.96.0-1~np2.
You are the best!
… did update to Frameworks 5.98, of course (not 5.97).
Recent update to 5.25.5 made packages
qml-module-org-kde-kcmutils
qml-module-org-kde-syntaxhighlightin
not required. I marked them manual for now.
Was that intended? Also kalendarac seems not to be required while before it was.
Thanks for the ongoing updates! 👍 I really cannot imagine using Plasma on Debian without this repository.
I tried this update, but discover is warning that it will remove a whole bunch of apps, including discover, dolphin, plasma-desktop. i’m guessing this is not a good time to do the update, or will i need to reinstall plasma-desktop again after update?
Some packages got built only recently, it should work now.
Thanks, but although 9 new packages show up (341 total), it still warns that plasma-desktop etc will be removed.
I have the same issue. Something is not right. I have the same issue. I guess some dependencies issues will get some debian meta packages to be removed take a lot of packages with them. In my case it seems all plasma-* and the task-kde-desktop packages are to be removed. Not good. Full paste: https://pastebin.com/ti7uK1WP
Confirm your findings.
I succeded by first installing
# apt install libkf5guiaddons-data libkf5guiaddons5
afterwards
# apt full-upgrade
went through.
The package
libkf5guiaddons-bin
could be purged after that
Still do not know, why?
Fix should be now available, it was an incorrect breaks.
Perfect, thanks!
Thanks Norbert! All good now.
Seem like something is missing. qtbase-abi-5-15-4 can not be found.
You are on Debian SID/unstable and upgraded to qtbase-abi-5-15-6 ? I Have the same situation and was forced to downgrade. Statying on Testing for the time being. I think that KDE needs to be rebuild against the new QT version…
Greetz, Eddy
Sending a rebuild off to the servers now. Will take a few hours until all packages are rebuild
Should be fixed by now
Thank you, Norbert, but I have a problem. When I try to upgrade, I still get the following list as being REMOVED :
kde-config-screenlocker kinfocenter kwin-common kwin-x11 layer-shell-qt libkscreenlocker5 liblayershellqtinterface5 plasma-desktop plasma-integration plasma-workspace sddm-theme-breeze sddm-theme-debian-breeze
I guess that’s something I should not do as all of KDE will be gone… 🙂
I’m on Debian SID/unstable, but still with KDE 5.24.6 from your repo, QT is 5.15.4+dfsg-5 but QT will be upgraded to 5.15.6+dfsg-2 during this upgrade. I’m holding off for now as I do not know what to do next. Should I upgrade to KDE 5.25.5 first ???
Thanks in advance, grettings from Belgium
Eddy
Today there was an update for Frameworks 5.98 from 5.98.0-1~np1 to 5.98.0-1~np2.
Everything downloaded and installed without any problems for my Debian 11 (Bullseye/stable) with Plasma 5.24.6.
Thank you once again, Norbert!
Hi Norbert,
after today’s update and then apt autoremove (which I was prompted to do) it seems that the complete plasma-desktop was removed. The system cannot be booted anymore. plasma-desktop has unfulfilled dependencies and therefore cannot be installed from your repo. I am using Debian 11 with your KDE Plasma 5.24. Until today everything ran without problems.
Is there a bug somewhere? Can you please check, because nothing works at the moment. Thanks!
First of all, booting should not be affected since KDE has nothing to do with systemd and grub. Then, if you do autoremove without actual checking what is removed this is your own fault.
Lastly, I cannot debug anything if you don’t provide output of upgrade commands, why packages are not installable, etc.
You’re absolutely right, I should have paid better attention.
But how can it be that after an update and then apt autoremove the whole desktop is removed? The system could only be booted via the console. Yesterday I had no time to redirect the output.
When updating again today, 16 packages were updated. Afterwards plasma-desktop could also be installed again. Now everything is running again.
Unfortunately I can’t show the error message now, sorry. It was like this: plasma-desktop cannot be installed because it depends on version 2 of the following packages … but version 1 of these packages should be installed. This also affected the package “breeze”. Do you have any idea what the problem was?
Hi Norbert, following up on your request for more info, this is what happens when I try to upgrade on the unstable-branch of Debian. I used “apt-get -s” to simulate, holding off the actual upgrade for now. No real errors in the transscript but unfortulately KDE would get removed…
Thanks again ! Greetz, Eddy

Don’t just automatically press “y” to confirm auto-remove suggestions. Always read what it is suggesting. When in doubt, always keep a log of your activity so you can later re-install packages:
sudo apt autoremove 2>&1 | tee apt-autoremove.log
Dear Norbert, thank you so much for continuously providing new KDE/Plasma builds to Debian stable users!
I did a clean install of this (buster standard ISO + your OBS repo + “apt install task-kde-desktop”) successfully. There was one thing I had to fix though, namely:
sudo sed -i “s@/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/@/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/@” \
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.kmtpd5.service
Otherwise MTP devices (e.g. USB-connected Android smartphone) would fail to open in Dolphin due to the path to kiod5 being wrong in that file.
Is that a packaging issue or a bug on KDE’s part?
I have no Android phone, but in Kubuntu 22.04 with backports there is “/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/” in the file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.kmtpd5.service
Hope this info is helpful to somebody.
By the way: Today’s KDE Gear update to 22.08.2 from 22.08.1 went without any problems so far on my Debian stable (Bullseye) with Plasma 5.24.6 and Frameworks 5.98.
Thanks again!
Thanks for this info. I had been resigned to MTP devices never being able to open correctly in Dolphin. Hopefully this bug will get fixed upstream.
Just a note to anyone who edits /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.kmtpd5.service as suggested above. In order for the change to take effect without restarting you have to:
sudo systemctl reload dbus

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So it can’t install libqt5webengine5 because there’s no such package in your repo?
Looks like a major update of Plasma 5.26.0 and Qt 5.15.6 finally entered Debian testing after being stuck for a while. Can you please update your packages against this newer Qt?
Thanks!
It doesn’t make sense to package 5.26 since it cannot run on stable, due to libdrm strictly newer requirement. And since Debian already carries 5.26 in testing and sid, I don’t see any use for including 5.26 here. WDYT?
Debian updates is pretty rarely though. There is already 5.26.2 out and testing just got 5.26.0.
In general, current 5.26 feels very buggy in comparison with previous release. So getting bug fixes releases sooner would be a huge benefit.
I can understand your feeling, but I don’t expect myself to invest that much time for Debian without using it, in particular considering what has happened. It is up to the Debian/Qt-KDE Team to provide newer packages for sid/testing now.
Out of curiosity, do you recommend any other distro(s) for KDE?
I doubt they’ll change their pace.
I noticed one strange thing. In Debian repos, KDE applications versions are all over the place, such as Okular being 22.04.3 for example, while konsole is 22.08.1 and so on.
Do they have some different method for uploading them than what you were using? Your applications in the repo are all the same version every time which is way better.
I don’t know how they do it. I agree that having consistency between all the package versions is a good thing, and it strongly suggested by KDE, but that doesn’t mean that Debian follows that. I did usually update all packages together.
That you don’t know it is normal; that the “mister” preining does not know is ridiculous. Debian is * not * a rolling release and the Debian / KDE Team’s sole job is to make KDE available for the next stable release. If you don’t like it, change the distribution instead of shoveling shit on those who don’t deserve it and lick asses on those who deserve it
Thanks for your very insightful and enlightening comment. You probably never checked how many uploads of KDE/Plasma this “mister” preining has done :rofl:
In Debian they prefer quality over quantity.
Thanks, but no thanks.
I prefer a rolling approach, not the “get your buggy experience and shut up” one.
Let’s be real here. The “Debian / KDE Team” as you put it is doing a crappy job at it for too long don’t you think? Or you just want to shovel shit as well? Why is Debian well known for years end for having very old KDE packages even on Testing or Sid? I as a user really like Debian but I don’t like this particular approach to KDE. I know it has improved greatly in the last few years, I believe also thanks to Norbert’s immensive contribution which you seem to be wary of (or possibly not) and not appreciate for some reason. How is one man alone able to do a consistently better job for the exact same packages? Why? Norbert’s KDE packages were a “miracle”, a breath of fresh air for all Debian KDE desktop users, where they were clearly lacking. Norbert’s work wouldn’t be necessary if it was sorted in the first place by that team. Our aim here is improving Debian as a whole, if necessary respectfully pointing what we believe it’s wrong or it may be improved – to everyone’s benefit. To me, shoveling shit is exactly what you are doing, by not accepting constructive criticism and being aggressive towards others who think differently than you. Shoveling shit is saying everything is alright as is, making pretend everything is well when clearly it isn’t . Are you trying to defend some “status quo” possibly? Your “shoveling shit” attitude is doing more damage to Debian and its users than what you may think of it.
Without Norbert’s work I would use Kubuntu or openSUSE with KDE instead of Debian Bullseye as my main operating system for desktop – so thanks a lot Norbert and don’t let the trolls get to you!
Also, I think your k3b dependencies are out of date which makes it conflicting with some others. Like for libflac, packages got new versions / names now, such as libflac++10 instead of libflac++6v5.
Oh … well, I guess that is a simple case of complete rebuild since lib deps are auto-generated. Will kick of rebuilds/updates in steps (frameworks, plasma, apps).
Dear Norbert,
today I upgraded my Debian 11 Bullseye with Plasma 5.24.6 from Frameworks 5.98 to 5.99.
Everything worked fine and again I have to thank you for your good work!
