Just for clarification: Pino uploaded almost all of the Plasma 5.17.5 packages to experimental instead of unstable. Only two of them, those I initial saw, he uploaded to unstable. I don't expect these two, plasma- browser-integration and breeze-grub, to break anything regarding Plasma 5.14. As I understand how the thread continued the issue you reported has not been related to them. I suggest waiting till the upload of Plasma 5.17 into unstable before upgrading. The upload to experimental I believe is also to sort out potential build or dependency issues that when trying to install the packages may break your Plasma desktop. -- Martin
