Hello. Pino is just uploading these.
The updated meta packages do no longer depend on KDE 4 based kde-runtime. This makes it easier to remove it once you removed the last KDE 4 application depending on it. There are still some like Amarok or KMyMoney. For KMyMoney upstream plans to release a KF5/Qt5 based version soon. There have been some porting efforts for Amarok, but I am not aware of their current state. And there are quite a bit more like basket, kopete 17.08 (also in the process of being ported, ready for 17.12 already?) and others: % apt-cache rdepends kde-runtime | wc -l 70 So still quite a challenge to get rid of KDE 4 and Qt 4 based stuff. I appreciate this careful polishing and updating of these packages. Of course I also look forward to Plasma 5.12 LTS and KDE Applications 17.12 as well as KF 5.42. It is a ton of packages and sub projects to keep track off in order to provide a fully fledged Plasma desktop with all bells and whistles. Thank you, -- Martin
