Package: libkdecorations2-5v5 Version: 4:5.23.0-2 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer, as of 2021-10-17T06:09:05+00:00 Debian testing contains 4:5.23.0-2, although the rest of Plasma is still on 5.21. Therefore, apt update installs libkdecorations2-5v5=4:5.23.0-2 which breaks login and renders the computer useless for normal users. A downgrade to version 4:5.21.5-2 fixes the problem. Of course, you could also argue that normal users should not run testing and I am sure this bug gets fixed implicitly when the rest of Plasma migrates, so severity normal would also be sensible, depending on how you look at it. Fixing these kind of transition problems can safe a lot of users' time and therefore encourage more advanced users to run testing and report real bugs early on and therefore reduce freeze time. This is closely related to #974112, but as #974112 is specific to an older transition, I wanted to create a generic bug report. I am not sure, how the fix ideally should look like, but it most likely includes either a (versioned) dependency or a conflict.
