Cannot update Plasma on PineBook Pro

ARM Plasma

Probably, that’s related to KDE Plasma Install Error on Pinebook Pro, which is closed so I cannot comment there.

I haven’t updated my PineBook Pro for 2 months (my fault), and today I cannot do that because of missing/renamed Plasma packages:

:: The following packages cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      dolphin  kate  kaddressbook  kdeconnect  korganizer  plasma-workspace

:: Do you want to skip the above packages for this upgrade? [y/N] y

Is this the same problem as the above linked thread?

thanks in advance

Try passing the -d flag to your update command to skip the dependency check and see if the update will go through. If not try -dd.

This is because a LOT of kde packages had the suffix 5 added to the package name.

So forcing ‘-d’ wouldn’t help, would it? Or maybe it could break the system?
