[Testing - Trixie] With 24 April upgrade Discover disappear

#1 Post by mirto »

Hi all,
I have Trixie with Plasma desktop. Today updates installed more than 100 packages (I installed with "sudo nala full-upgrade").
All is fine, but I noticed that the Discover application disappeared from the menu icons.
Asking nala, it sayis it is installed

Code: Select all

mirto@bianco500:~$ sudo nala show discover
Package: discover
Version: 2.1.2-10
Architecture: amd64
Installed: yes
Priority: optional
Essential: no
Section: admin
Source: discover
Origin: Debian
Maintainer: Debian Install System Team <debian-boot@lists.debian.org>
Installed-Size: 100 KB
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libdiscover2 (= 2.1.2-10), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0
Suggests: lsb-base
Conflicts: discover1 (< 2.0)
Download-Size: 43 KB
APT-Sources: http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing/main amd64 Packages
Trying to launch the executable gives strange messages but the application window don't appear

What can I do?

BTW the discover output is

Same here, just trying Debian on my laptop since last week. Changed to testing a day or two back and the first update I applied yesterday wants to remove plasma-discover:

I've held back on updating for now.

Excellent - you did the right thing! I think the most important thing to remember about running a development distribution is if an upgrade doesn't look safe, don't upgrade :mrgreen:

The one time I broke Sid badly enough to justify a reinstall was in the middle of a big xorg upgrade about a dozen years ago. To be fair, apt offered to break my system and I blindly smacked the enter key. Lesson learned :)

Hi @fabian seems that my previous reply was lost.

You are right: it was plasma-discover and now nala says it is not installed

Code: Select all

mirto@bianco500:~$ sudo nala show plasma-discover
[sudo] password di mirto:

But, if I try to install I receive a lot of errors
