    Aw that’s such a bummer! I don’t have a ton of experience here but currently I’m running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and something it does is say “This dependency can’t be satisfied, what do you want to do?”

    You can usually “keep obsolete”, “remove the thing”, “ignore this and risk breaking it”.

    If I keep hitting “keep obsolete” and it just goes in circles, I wait a few weeks and usually everything has been pushed by then. :)

    I wonder if this mismatch could be from the 'buntu distros holding back certain packages differently from KDE’s schedule… I sadly don’t know enough to comment. 😅

      Yes Ubuntu is definitely slower in the update cycle. But virtually everyone in the programming world seems to use it and wikis almost always get based on an Ubuntu LTS version.

      As a random example take ROS2

      Even when a new version such as 24.04 comes it usually takes almost six months for people to start migrating and libraries to become well supported on it.
