KDE Gears 22.04 and Plasma 5.24.5 for Debian

I have updated my OBS builds to contain the new KDE Gears 22.04 as well as the last point release of KDE Plasma 5.24.5.

As usual, the packages are provided via my OBS builds. If you have used my packages till now, then you only need to change the apps2112 line to read apps2204. To give full details, I repeat (and update) instructions for all here: First of all, you need to add my OBS key say in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/obs-npreining.asc and add a file /etc/apt/sources.lists.d/obs-npreining-kde.list, containing the following lines, replacing the DISTRIBUTION part with one of Debian_11 (for Bullseye), Debian_Testing, or Debian_Unstable:

deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/other-deps/DISTRIBUTION/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/frameworks/DISTRIBUTION/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/plasma524/DISTRIBUTION/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/apps2204/DISTRIBUTION/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/other/DISTRIBUTION/ ./

Some programs in the other group have been recompiled against the Gears 22.04 libraries.

Enjoy!

PS: Considering that I don’t have a user-facing Debian computer anymore, all these packages are only tested by third parties and not by myself. Be aware!

PPS: Funny to read the Debian Social Contract, Point 4. Our priorities are our users and free software, obviously I care a lot about my users.

  1. Luc says:

    Big thanks again Norbert!!!! I updated my sources.list per your instructions and upgraded to Apps 2204. Everything looks great and is working.

    On the DFSG: is it envie and jealousy what is causing the Debian community behaviour?

  2. Dmitriy says:

    Thank you, Norbert! Unfortunately some packages can’t be upgraded. Apt wants to remove
    digikam digikam-private-libs kmymoney libkf5alarmcalendar5abi1 libkpmcore11 showfoto

    • Sorry I cannot test myself, but digikam etc should be recompiled against Gears 2204 and be installable. Which distribution (testing, stable, Sid) are you using?

    • Luc says:

      In my setup Digikam was installed smoothly. I think you need to fiddle with apt. Sometimes I encounter a situation like you describe, in which case I let it uninstall packages, and immediately after I install them again.

    • Dmitriy says:

      OK. I have come across the issue by playing a little bit with pinning (give a higher priority to your repo). After that apt has made upgrade without any problems. Thank you!

      • dantefff says:

        I’m in bullseye and in the same situation as you. Can you share how you pinned the repository. Thanks!

  3. Jerry says:

    There is an issue with the Debian 11 dependencies. Your polkit-kde-agent-1 has polkitd as a dependency, but that is not available in bullseye, just in testing and unstable. The standard Debian Bullseye polkit-kde-agent-1 pulls in policykit-1 instead. It appears Debian transitioned to the polkitd package for testing and unstable, but not for Bullseye.

  4. Michael Schaffner says:

    Hi,

    a huge thank you for doing this even without using it yourself!

    Two Problems on my side:

    1. polkit-kde-agent-1 isnt updated:

    $ sudo apt install polkit-kde-agent-1
    polkit-kde-agent-1 : Hängt ab von: polkitd ist aber nicht installierbar

    $ apt depends polkit-kde-agent-1=4:5.24.5-1~np1
    polkit-kde-agent-1
    Hängt ab von:

    $ apt depends polkit-kde-agent-1=4:5.24.4-1~np1
    polkit-kde-agent-1
    Hängt ab von: policykit-1

    2. cantor gets removed:

    $ sudo apt install cantor
    libcantorlibs28 : Beschädigt: cantor (< 4:22.04.0-2~) aber 4:22.04.0-1~np1 soll installiert werden

    $ apt depends libcantorlibs28=4:22.04.0-1~np1
    Beschädigt: cantor (<< 4:22.04.0-2~)

    • Thanks for the report, will check ASAP

    • polkit should be fixed with 5.24.5-1~np2
      cantor should be fixed with 4:22.04.0-1~np2
      Thanks for the report.

      • Michael Schaffner says:

        polkit is fixed, the cantor problem seems to still exist?!

        $ sudo apt install cantor libcantorlibs28
        libcantorlibs28 : Beschädigt: cantor (< 4:22.04.0-2~)

        Both packages are version 4:22.04.0-1~np2! Maybe some kind of typo in the Depends/Replaces/Breaks?

        Thanks again!

  5. Thank you. The upgrade was a breeze. 🙏🏼

  6. dpanter says:

    Thanks Norbert, update went swimmingly fine on Siduction. 🙂
    We miss ya buddy.

  7. Sedat says:

    Thanks for the kde-apps update to version 22.04.

    What happended to k3b and konqueror (and their libs)?

    root# dpkg -l | grep ’21\.12\.3′ | awk ‘{print $2}’ | sort
    k3b
    k3b-data
    k3b-i18n
    konq-plugins
    konqueror
    libk3b7:amd64
    libk3b7-extracodecs:amd64
    libkf5alarmcalendar-data
    libkf5konq6:amd64

    libkf5alarmcalendar5abi1:amd64 package was removed on upgrade.

    Can you clarify?

  8. Dmitriy says:

    Hello,
    What has happened to korgac (korganizer reminder client)? It is missing in korganizer 4:22.04.0-1~np1 package.

  9. Bob says:

    Thanks for the updates!
    Calamares also needs a fix for bullseye. I backported it from unstable for my setup and it is installable now.

  10. Shmerl says:

    Hi!

    I tried to install Qt 5.15.3 packages from Debian experimental, but it seems to conflict with a bunch of 22.04.0 applications from your repo which it wants to remove in such scenario. Do they have some hard dependency on Qt 5.15.2?

    Example:

    accountwizard akonadi-server akregator ark bluedevil breeze dolphin dragonplayer gwenview …

    • Yes, these packages use Qt internals and thus cannot be used with different versions. This is the same with the packages distributed within Debian itself. If you want to test a new Qt version, you need to rebuild these packages yourself.

  11. Sedat says:

    Looks like KDE apps version 22.04.1 from Norbert’s OBS Git now ships konqueror and k3b.
    Both apps start here.

    No version bump has:
    1. libkf5alarmcalendar5abi1:amd64
    2. libkf5alarmcalendar-data

  12. Luc says:

    Hi Norbert, thanks for including KDE Frameworks 5.94.0!

  13. Sedat says:

    Norbert, do your packages need a rebuild against OpenSSL-v3?

    Note: Debian/unstable is in a transition period (see [1]).

    [1] https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-openssl.html

    • Probably at some point I need to recompile them. I hope that goes all without code changes, because otherwise it will be a huge pain to keep stable supported.

  14. Sedat says:

    Unsure, if this is a way to correctly determine the build-deps to libssl-dev:

    root# LC_ALL=C apt-rdepends –reverse libssl-dev | egrep -i ‘kde|kf5|qt’ | grep ‘Reverse Depends:’ | sort
    Reading package lists… Done
    Building dependency tree… Done
    Reading state information… Done
    Reverse Depends: libkf5kdelibs4support-dev (5.93.0-1)
    Reverse Depends: libpqtypes-dev (1.5.1-7)
    Reverse Depends: libvtk6-qt-dev (= 6.3.0+dfsg2-8.1+b1)
    Reverse Depends: libvtk7-qt-dev (= 7.1.1+dfsg2-10.1+b1)
    Reverse Depends: libvtk9-qt-dev (= 9.1.0+really9.1.0+dfsg2-3+b3)

    • Well, that looks not too bad. And the code uses just `libssl-dev` for B-D, so I just need to kick of a rebuild in due time, probably not immediately.

  15. Sedat says:

    Best is to wait the transition to openssl-v3 is done.
    You happen to know how to retrieve the information?

    ( I plan to update my selfmade LLVM toolchain and “be patient” might be a good strategy. )

  16. Helge says:

    Hello Norbert,
    once again kmymoney should be removed during the upgrade. Is there any solution for this?

    • What is the message/failing dependency?

      • Helge says:

        I think it’s because version 5.1.2-4 is installed.
        in your repo it is 5.1.2-3+np3.
        a downgrade to your version is also not possible because of several dependencies

        • Ok, Debian has now newer package versions but old abi, I need to bump the version. Will do that later today.

          • Helge says:

            Hi Norbert, it would be great if you still do it. I would like to complete the upgrade.
            Thanks in advance.

          • Luc says:

            as of today 5.25 beta is available in Debian Experimental. maybe that helps your issue

          • Luc says:

            today debian uploaded 5.25 beta to experimental. maybe that solves your issue

          • Luc says:

            as of June 2, Plasma 5.25 beta is available in Debian Experimental, maybe this solves your issue

          • Helge says:

            Norbert, is there a chance you will do it?

          • Helge says:

            What you said.

            “Ok, Debian has now newer package versions but old abi, I need to bump the version. Will do that later today.”

            I still can’t upgrade because kmymoney is about to be removed.

          • Ahh, good point, forgot that. Just sent off kmymoney 5.1.2-4+np1 that should deal with it. Will need a bit of time to be rebuild, though.

          • Helge says:

            Very nice, that was quick. Upgrade was successful.
            Thank you again for your great work

      • Helge says:

        Hey Norbert,
        again it’s kmymoney that stops the show.
        During the dist-upgrade, kmymoney is the only package to be removed.

    Hi Norbert! Any chance for KDE Plasma 5.25 Beta? 🙂

    • No, sorry. No beta versions. I am not even sure whether I go over 5.25 at all, considering that I am not running it anymore.

      • João Pedro Sousa says:

        Fair enough. Thank you anyway for all of your efforts so far!

      • luc says:

        sorry to read it, although i can understand. can this little community persuade you, how?

        • Packaging a new version of Plasma is a lot of work and, as I said, I don’t have a place to test anything. I’m not sure whether I want to invest the time.

          • Thiago Cangussu says:

            I know your time is valuable, but could you provide some guidance so other people can do what you are doing for us now?

  20. midvok says:

    Thanks a lot Norbert, the update to KDE 5.24 installed perfectly for me.

    However, I still face one bug with the KDE apps on Debian 11, which was supposed to be fixed by KDE Frameworks 5.89 (https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/s4yh35/how_to_completely_disable_all_menu_mnemonics_so_i/, https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kwidgetsaddons/-/merge_requests/105).

    The bug causes that certain shortcuts like Alt+S do not work, because they are used by menu accelerators by default which causes the error “Ambiguous shortcut detected”. I believe it was fixed by KDE Frameworks 5.89 and it works fine for me on recent Manjaro, but I’m not able to make it working on Debian 11, no matter how I try to upgrade the KDE packages. I tested it with Dolphin and Krusader particularly. Please, any idea what could be the issue on Debian? Do these apps need to be recompiled again with the current KDE Frameworks?

    • midvok says:

      Finally, I made the shortcuts (Alt+S, etc) working after I created a new user account.

      Then, I discovered it was the file /home/{user}/.config/kdeglobals, which caused me the problems after KDE upgrade. So, I deleted it (to make it reset) and all shortcuts works fine also on my original account 🙂

  21. Markus says:

    Thank you for the updates

  22. Sedat says:

    With some mixed emotions I commented Norbert’s OBS repositories as he was removed from KDE uploaders. Furthermore, I do not think it makes much sense to include an APT repository where packages were not tested on the uploader’s machine.
    It’s like a cook not tasting his own meal creations.

    As for the records:
    Today (11-Jun-2022), I upgraded to KDE/Plasma from Debian/experimental AMD64 successfully.

    • Oh well, I guess it was only a question of time when the Qt/KDE team takes me out of the uploaders. In principle I still have upload rights for these packages, though 😉

      Anyway, I understand your feeling, and have warned about this, too. I regularly sync with the Debian packages, so there shouldn’t be a problem, and I provide builds for Debian/stable, which is done in Debian, so there is still an added value. But I agree that not being able to test it myself is a problem.

  23. Sedat says:

    Addendum:
    Norbert, thanks for all the love and time you invested in your APT repositories.

    Did not iverstigate deeply as my KDE/Plasma starts a Wayland session…

  24. Mister00X says:

    Hi Norbert,
    first of all thank you for still maintaining these repos.

    It seems that libqt5qml5 in debian unstable was recently updated, which now causes libkpimitinerary5 and with it kdepim-addons to be removed on upgrading.
    I believe this is because libqt5qml5 now provides qtdeclarative-abi-5-15-4 while your libkpimitinerary5 package depends on qtdeclarative-abi-5-15-2. Do you think that you’re able to rebuild/fix your libkpimitinerary5 so that it can use the new libqt5qml5 package in debian?

  25. Sedat says:

    Just upgraded to QT version 5.15.4 and KDE/Plasma version 5.25.0 – partly (and manually) from unstable and experimental.

    As I do not use anymore Norbert’s OBS repos there exist still KDE/apps version 21.12.3:

    root# dpkg -l | grep 21.12.3 | wc -l
    41

    That stuff I am missing from Norbert.

  26. Debian user says:

    Hello Norbert, given you do not intend to provide plasma 5.25 in your repos, would you continue to provide updates to plasma 5.24 LTS, like 5.24.6 and beyond?

    • I have uploaded packages for 5.25 but they fail to build. I might find time to look into it

      For 5.24 LTS, that shouldn’t be a problem.

      • Where exactly do you keep your repositories ? I know OBS can allow multiple users to collaborate. Maybe, you could offload some of the efforts to interested people

        • Everything I do is what is on OBS, just check out the stuff with osc co home:npreining:debian-kde:plasma525 should give you the whole code for plasma 5.25, same for the other projects. I am more than happy to see other people contribute. It is really not that hard: if a build fails, check the logs for the reason, fix it, and commit the new package.

            Looks like experimental got a bunch of uploads of 5.25.x, so they probably fixed some of the build issues.

    Hi!

    For some reason recent update (that bumps dependencies to newer Qt) tries to remove these packages:

    kdepim-addons libkpimitinerary5

    Are they incompatible or that’s expected?

  29. Birk says:

    Dear Norbert,

    thank you very, very much for your work and providing the world with Plasma 5.24 LTS and all the other recent KDE stuff for Debian 11 Bullseye!
    Because of you I completely replaced Kubuntu with Debian Bullseye together with Bullseye-backports and your Plasma 5.24 LTS with additional KDE stuff on my private computers last month. 🙂
    I hope you will continue to do so and that you will get some help from others. I would like to volunteer to do so personally, but I am just a humble retired computer technician with restricted knowledge – but if I could help you in any way, please let me know.

    After installation I had to additionally install vulkan-tools, mesa-utils and mesa-utils-extra to get information about graphics in Plasma “Info Centre” – are there some dependencies missing?

    Otherwise everthing has been fine and has been running perfectly, but since yesterday I ran into a problem while updating some packages from “deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/other/Debian_11/ ./”:

    Fehl:1 https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/other/Debian_11 ./ latte-dock 0.10.8-1~np2
    Datei hat eine unerwartete Größe (1328468 != 1328176). Eventuell läuft gerade eine Spiegel-Synchronisierung? [IP: 134.76.12.6 443]
    Hashes of expected file:
    – SHA256:33cae5256181bfcdcd9221bfb71125dabfcef3a60085a1603f827e9a4d06db25
    – SHA1:7baf02c36464bc788e37ee64e9a429b808a4e100 [weak]
    – MD5Sum:ace4bd09801729bcf1b6488eab3230a8 [weak]
    – Filesize:1328176 [weak]

    Anything I can do to fix this?

    And finally: You wrote above that you don’t have a computer with Debian yourself anymore…
    I could give you an older machine for testing in used but working condition (a Shuttle XPC DS61 V1.1) if you needed one. Or you could set up a donation button on this site, so if everyone gave you at least an Euro you certainly could buy a computer for running Debian.

    Dear Norbert, thanks again and feel free to contact me if in need.

    • Birk says:

      The issue with “latte-dock 0.10.8-1” is gone since yesterday night (with the “np3-version, I think).
      Everything installed/updated just fine, thank you!

    Hi (not sure if my last comment went through).

    Is it expect that recent update in testing that already includes newer Qt tries to remove these?

    kdepim-addons libkpimitinerary5

    Are they obsoleted or there is some compat issue with these packages?
