We did update to a newer appstream for a while but that should now be undone.

You don't say what edition of Neon you're using (user?) or what version of plasma-discover you're installing

Please paste:
apt-cache policy plasma-discover
apt-cache policy libappstreamqt2

I mean, I did choose Packages User Edition, assuming that would've been an indicator.

Ignore the /usr/bin/git - that's just something my current fish config likes to do.

Comment 4 The Feren OS Dev 2023-10-19 21:05:13 UTC

Ok, this is plain weird - after updating APT cache again, plasma-discover no longer has a dependency issue, so... I guess it got RESOLVED since...?

Guess I'll just...

Comment 5 Jonathan Riddell 2023-10-23 11:55:29 UTC

yeah sorry about this, we downgraded to an older libappstream which sometimes needs a double apt upgrade to sort out
