Today usual updating replaced probably all K apps with extra/K. It didn't break anything but it was weird and scary when it's 100s of apps

Ya.. There I thought "God, things are going to break..".. But all is good so far.

So it went smoothly for everyone? Big W for KDE Team!

Big W for KDE Team!

KDE team had nothing to do with it. This is just a package rename done by Arch maintainers, presumably in preparation for the Qt6 versions of these packages.

Yeah that was kinda scary. My guess is to start accommodating for plasma 6?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It's just package renaming. To prepare for qt6 versions coming in 4 or so months.

Yep. Happened for me on EndeavourOS. Everything is still working just fine.

You can just add --no-confirm to skip all that
