SUMMARY When installing `kde-plasma-desktop` from the KDE Neon stable repository (`archive.neon.kde.org/stable noble main`) on Ubuntu 24.04, the following dependency error occurs: ``` plasma-desktop : Depends: kf6-kauth (>= 6.20.0+p24.04+vstable+git20251123.0518) but 6.19.0+p24.04+vstable+git20251111.0515-0 is to be installed ``` The `plasma-desktop` package was updated on 2025-11-23 to require `kf6-kauth >= 6.20.0`, but `kf6-kauth` in the repository is still at version 6.19.0 (from 2025-11-11). This blocks fresh installations using the KDE Neon stable PPA on Ubuntu 24.04. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Build the following minimal Dockerfile: ```dockerfile FROM ubuntu:24.04 ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive RUN apt-get update -qq && \ apt-get install -y -qq wget software-properties-common gnupg2 && \ wget -qO - 'http://archive.neon.kde.org/public.key' | gpg --dearmor | tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/neon-archive.gpg > /dev/null && \ apt-add-repository -y 'deb http://archive.neon.kde.org/stable noble main' && \ apt-get update && \ apt-get install -y kde-plasma-desktop ``` Run: ```bash docker build -t kde-neon-test -f Dockerfile . ``` OBSERVED RESULT ``` Some packages could not be installed.
