Well for some time I used upgrade, then dist-upgrade, but often that was two steps instead of one, as a dist-upgrade would just have been fine, so I reversed it. I try dist-upgrade and carefully check what it would do… just this one time I didn´t. I think the output was too large and the removes were already out of the screen completely. I usually start the dist-upgrade and then head elsewhere, then look back to look at the solution apt proposes. Today I just didn´t scroll back. > And when I do that now, 'cause I'm curious, I can see that the KF5 packages > now have a condition in them to avoid the situation/bugs we had earlier due > to a mix of KF 5.22 and 5.23. > Thanks Maxy :-D Yeah, I do think this makes sense. I don´t complain. Its on my own to carefully check dist-upgrade proposals, especially on a Debian Sid machine, and in case I don´t, I am the one responsible for fixing things up :).
