Package: plasma-discover Version: 5.8.5-3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
plasma-discover recommends software-properties-kde, a package that allows via GUI to: - manage the entries in the sources.list - set periodic update and automatic upgrades - opt in/out from the popularity contest However the software-properties-* packages still have important and old bugs unresolved that undermine the user experience and, by default, do not enable automatic updates when installed. A better alternative could be the installation of plasma-discover with apt-config-auto-update instead, which provides "configuration snippets for the Apt package manager to have it automatically update its package cache". In this way: - the sources.list can still be managed using plasma-discover directly - automatic updates are enabled by default Despite the lack of a couple of features provided by software-properties-kde, this configuration could be better for a basic installation.
