SUMMARY
Beginning of April it started that version to be updated don't have fulfilled dependencies.
It concentrates on the two packages libkcolorpicker-qt6-0 and libkimageannotator-qt6-0.
[Additionally there is  a component in update which is said to not update till something
is fullfilles (shim/booting?) - this massage is currently no longer there ...]: 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. looking for updates
2. try to update systems
3. update failed due to unresolvable dependencies on KDE neon (after correct update to KDE neon 6.0.3)

OBSERVED RESULT
Output of update process:

EXPECTED RESULT
No problem when updating ... this is the 1st time that such a thing happened on KDE neon based on 22.04 LTS
(during the long journey from 5.27.2 to 6.0.3), so not business as usual but something which should
not have happened.

On my system are thee strange package problems - and it looks more like Windows than Linux.
Normaly Reps are concise and dpendencies are automatically met. If some packages can not be installed,
they won't be selected for install/update - so these 3 things should never happen:

1) gwenview and libimageannotator-qt6-0:
The new libimageannotator-qt6-0 is broken - so I had to delete gwenview to make updates like X11.
Would be nice if that could be fixed and one is able to install gwenview again on latest KDE neon (6.0.3 currently).

2) libcolorpicker-qt6-0:
It is there to get updated but can not update:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libkcolorpicker-qt6-0_0.3.1-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build2_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkColorPicker.so.0', which is also in package libkcolorpicker0:amd64 0.1.6-2

3) UEFI dbx 238 -> 371 is there in Updates (in KDE Updater - not shown when using synaptic).
But there is a warning message:
"Blocked executable in the ESP, ensure grub and shim are up to date:
/boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi"
So if it is not met, it should not be offered for update - right?

Interesting that such messages are totally uncommon under Linux - not seen similar messages in years.
And now 3 problems all emerging beginning of April ... I am not ammused.

Comment 3 JMB9 2024-04-09 11:51:23 UTC

Ok, as now may commands have effect it seems the dependency problems have been eliminated:
Libpicker could be deleted and installes - which was rejected before;
and also gwenview with libkImageAnnotator.so.0 could be installed.
So package dependencies seem to be corrected.
The only annoyance is UEFI dbx 238 -> 371 only visible with Discover (and not really KDE related);
when using synaptic (my default) there is currently no problem with packages.
So thanks for the correcting of dependenvies in KDE6!
This bug report can be closed from my point of view.
