Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2017-11-08 17:48:20 UTC

Please report update issues to the bug tracker of your distribution.

Comment 3 Michael 2017-11-10 16:38:36 UTC

OK. Thanks I will.

Comment 4 Michael 2017-11-10 23:14:05 UTC

I could not find a way to get to the S/W originators so I did a re-install of kde*, plasma* and plymouth* after trying to use "apt-get build-dep" on the various mismatched kde debug and plasma stuff which crashed the boot. Very depressing. I can no longer boot plasma at all, and am now in a gnome gui desktop. (Better than nothing) My desire was to run kubuntu with the plasma desktop on 16.04.3. Any suggestions?

Comment 5 Michael 2017-11-13 22:17:10 UTC

Upgrades now work because I did the following:

I decided to continue with the updates and did:
apt-get install --reinstall --install-suggests plasma*

This install went OK and when it asked for the choice of lightdm or sddm, this time I chose lightdm. Although this dm continues to ask for login whereas I did not need to previously (I had set it that way) many of the previous problems (especially updates) have resolved. 

kde_X11 continues to crash often whenever a window already on screen is overwritten and then the dm has to redraw it behind the new window. The larger the windows, the more likely it is to happen.

Comment 6 Michael 2017-11-13 23:08:33 UTC

apt-get install --reinstall --install-suggests plasma-desktop is what worked.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

Again, this is not the appropriate place to report distro/packaging bugs.
