… which is fine, this package is the integration for Qt6 apps. plasma5-integration is required for Qt5 apps in addition. > The other end up transitively depending on it because of this.

I don’t get what you mean by that. Yes, we must have a working upgrade path and we make what we can to make it happen. When someone finds an issue like here with missing plasma5-integration or previously with qml6-qtmql-workerscript we fix it. We generally install all packages from the stack when packaging to ensure that nothing breaks when upgrading. So we don’t catch the missing package issues immediately. Happy hacking, -- Aurélien
