Did that again, just to be sure.

The problem I had was due to my search/upgrade command.
When I used the following command:
``aptitude safe-upgrade '~i~V5.27' -t experimental``

that worked a LOT better! No more problems and the upgrade went fine :)

In hindsight, this output should've been a clue ... :
52 packages upgraded, 188 newly installed, 79 to remove and 150 not upgraded.

... that I missed to upgrade some things, which was fixed with:
``aptitude safe-upgrade '~i~V23.08' '~i~V24.05' -t experimental``

And AFAIK, or at least on my systems, aptitude doesn't automatically
install *new* recommends, which was fixed with:
``aptitude install clinfo+M kde-style-oxygen-qt6+M kgamma+M
power-profiles-daemon python3-psutil+M wayland-utils``

(I didn't install all the new recommends)

I did closely compare the output of my first 'aptitude' command to see
what got removed and what came (likely) in its place.
The usual 'suspect' would be same name, but now ending with '6' instead
of '5'. But the following list remained:

khotkeys
libgps30t64 -> qml6-module-qtpositioning ?
libksgrd9
libkwineffects14 -> libkwin6 ?
libkwinglutils14 -> libkwin6 ?
libpowerdevilui5
libprocessui9
libqt5multimedia5-plugins -> qml6-module-qtmultimedia ?
libqt5multimediagsttools5 -> qml6-module-qtmultimedia ?
libqt5multimediawidgets5 -> qml6-module-qtmultimedia ?
libqt5quickshapes5
plasma-workspace-wayland
qml-module-org-kde-kcm
qml-module-org-kde-kcmutils
qml-module-org-kde-kio -> libkf6kiofilewidgets6 ?
qml-module-org-kde-runnermodel
qml-module-org-kde-solid
qml-module-qtquick-shapes -> qml6-module-qtquick-effects ?

It's very well possible that these are all fine, but figured I mention
it so that the packagers could see if something could be missing.

But with a quick test, everything seems to work fine ...

... as mentioned before, I have a Pine64 PineTab2 and there is 1 issue.
In its DeviceTree file, there's this setting: ``rotation = <90>``
which means that the panel needs to be rotated by 90 degrees to get the
view/display as you'd want. While Plasma does that, it appears that SDDM
does not (I also upgraded that to the version in Experimental).

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494761 is the upstream bug for it,
but I'm going to reassign it to sddm as the users in #pinetab apparently
didn't describe the problem properly.
Now that I've upgraded too, I can see the problem myself.

Cheers and thanks for the hint which led me to the right commands!
