Bug ID: 512633
Summary: plasma-desktop dependency mismatch with kf6-kauth
Classification: KDE Neon
Product: neon
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
When installing `kde-plasma-desktop` from the KDE Neon stable repository
(`archive.neon.kde.org/stable noble main`) on Ubuntu 24.04, the following
dependency error occurs:
```
plasma-desktop : Depends: kf6-kauth (>= 6.20.0+p24.04+vstable+git20251123.0518)
but 6.19.0+p24.04+vstable+git20251111.0515-0 is to be
installed
```
The `plasma-desktop` package was updated on 2025-11-23 to require `kf6-kauth >=
6.20.0`, but `kf6-kauth` in the repository is still at version 6.19.0 (from
2025-11-11).
This blocks fresh installations using the KDE Neon stable PPA on Ubuntu 24.04.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Build the following minimal Dockerfile:
```dockerfile
FROM ubuntu:24.04
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
RUN apt-get update -qq && \
apt-get install -y -qq wget software-properties-common gnupg2 && \
wget -qO - 'http://archive.neon.kde.org/public.key' | gpg --dearmor | tee
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/neon-archive.gpg > /dev/null && \
apt-add-repository -y 'deb http://archive.neon.kde.org/stable noble main'
&& \
apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y kde-plasma-desktop
```
Run:
```bash
docker build -t kde-neon-test -f Dockerfile .
```
OBSERVED RESULT
```
