KDE/Plasma update for Debian

Hi Sandro,

Yes, found that and did clone all the stuff now.

The packages I builts (versions 5.69-0.1) upgrade to the experimental
version 5.69-1. All the issues were the two I mentioned below:
the virtual api package is used in several other packages I built
(akonadi), so upgrading to the -1 version in experimental breaks.
But your explanations are enough for me to fix this.

OK, agreed. Thanks.

Ahh, thanks. The +really version hasn't arrived at my mirror till now.
And now I see the NEW version. Thanks.

So, that seems all fine.

Now that frameworks are uptodate, what about Plasma and Apps?
As I wrote in the other email, I have already forked/cloned all plasma
apps and will create PR for the changes in experimental for 5.18.4.1.

The Apps have 20.04 and we could upload new versions of the apps with
new dependencies on kcalcore 5:5.69.0 instead of the API version virtual
package.

WDYT?

Norbert
