> any more info.  kdevelop installs on latest user builds.

Now I also see a replacement package getting installed for KDevelop. Kdevelop is in the "to be removed" and now there is a Kdevelop in the "In order to install" -section too. It was not there during reporting.

So, issue solved. Closing.

Ok, so Kdevelop got removed, and the replacement came in as Snap / Flatpak.

Too bad the replacement Kdevelop is crippled, so bunch of the plugin tools don't work, for example 'cppcheck': bug 478760
Nor, can I see TODO and FIXME notes in the Problems-view: bug 478755.

So, this is not a good progress
Comment 4 Lassi Väätämöinen 2023-12-20 11:31:49 UTC 
Ok, so now I ran Discover again, and it installed the "native" Kdevelop, with which the plugins DO work.

But, I ended up having two Kdevelops: 1) the "native" one, and 2) Flatpak Kdevelop.

Needed to get rid of the Flatpak Kdevelop by using 'flatpak uinstall KDevelop'
