And one more thing... Kalendar is now included in Gear 22.04 (according to their press release) and it looks like your build from 21.12 has unmet dependencies?

I'll check later, can you send me an email with all the details, please, so I don't forget (Japanese holidays here ...)

[norbert]

I have added kalendar 22.04 to the apps2204 repo, should be built soon.

Concerning the polkit error, I am still checking.

[markol]

Thank you, works now!

For unknowns reasons, the gpg signature don’t work on my system until i modified the obs-npreining-kde.list like this (adding [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/obs-npreining.asc] for each repos…) :

Code: Select all

deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/obs-npreining.asc] https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/other-deps/Debian_11/ ./ 
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/obs-npreining.asc] https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/frameworks/Debian_11/ ./

OK SO

It seems these repos support both 5.25 and 5.24..... but in no way that I can see clearly defines how to choose which.

How do I downgrade from 5.25 to 5.24?

EDIT: oh nvm, change to plasma524 and apps2204 and then "upgrade" or is there a "downgrade"?
EDIT2: nope that edit seems to point to something that does not exist anymore.

[norbert]

Downgrading is not really supported, but you can force all packages with apt install PKG==<version> to be downgraded. But that is not a piece of cake
