Bug ID: 420605
Summary: Neon apt repository contains broken dependencies,
update will cause desktop to be uninstalled
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Updating KDE neon will remove entire desktop
Yesterday I updated my neon user edition with sudo apt dist-upgrade. I
should've used pkcon, but it looks like that didn't cause my problem. I noticed
too late that the update was going to uninstall everything, and now I can no
longer reinstall the neon-desktop package because of dependency issues. I
tracked it down to several packages depending on libqt5qml5 5.14.2 or higher,
but the version to be installed is 5.14.2-0xneon+18.04+bionic+build56 which
somehow doesn't satisfy that dependency? For example I can't install
qml-module-qtquick-control because of that, but I need it to get my desktop
back. In my sources list I am only using the default bionic repos and
archive.neon.org/release bionic main.
The issue has been confirmed by another user on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/kdeneon/comments/g7xp1r/update_uninstalled_entire_desktop_can_not/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update KDE neon from an existing install with the repos mentioned above.
OBSERVED RESULT
The entire desktop will be uninstalled and can no longer be reinstalled due to
incorrect dependencies.
EXPECTED RESULT
The update works correctly, it is possible to install neon-desktop etc.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSION:
Linux/KDE Plasma: neon user latest
