** Description changed:

  I upgraded my system from kubuntu 24.10 to plucky beta. The process went
  smooth until the step "Searching for obsolote software. This took like
  2h on my devent developer machine (100% CPU from a python process called
  "plucky").
  
  After that, it says that it will
  
  "418 packages are going to be removed. 1 new package is going to be 
  installed."
  
  It went through, I rebooted and after that, all plasma packages were
  missing. I had to reinstall the kubuntu-desktop metapackage. Other
  packages that I installed manually where there.
