    Which package would build qml-module-org-kde-prison?
    My frameworks packages (5.77) still use qtdeclarative for b-d in
    prison-kf5, but I don't see that module being built. Should it be built

    Ahh, blind I am ... there it is in my packages ;-) Not as a separate
    binary package, though, but included in libkf5prison5

    I will prepare an update to prison-kf5

    Best

    Hi Marco.

    Marco Valli - 14.12.20, 11:23:18 CET:
    klipper plasmoid (plasma-workspace-data) claim
    qml-module-org-kde-prison (barcode API) to be installed to work.
    Seems that this package don't exist in Debian so i had need to modify
    the file

    Thanks for this one.

    Good as a work-around till the fix the missing packages are available.

    Ciao,

    Hi!

    Do we really need to use the flag "-t experimental" ?
    When I use it, it returns this error:


    It is needed because Plasma 5.20.4 is in the experimental suite, and not
    yet in sid. See, for example:

    https://packages.debian.org/sid/plasma-desktop
    vs
    https://packages.debian.org/experimental/plasma-desktop

    Hi!

    If you are feeling adventurous and are using Sid, then you can help by
    testing Plasma 5.20.4 from experimental. I installed it using
    [snip]
    Please do this only if you feel up to it and are willing to keep the
    pieces in case something breaks. Of course you can always ask for help

    In this case "adventurous" means you may encounter breakage, that you understand the risks, and are nonetheless brave ;-) Please take your
    time to consider carefully whether you can afford to break your GUI for
    a couple of days. If you don't have a second system, it may be best to
    test 5.20.4 from experimental in a VM, or wait for the upload to sid.
    Don't forget that downgrading packages is not officially supported!

    The only system I enable experimental for is a Core-2-duo Thinkpad that
    I keep around for testing and as an emergency backup laptop. I'm not
    very adventurous :-p

    root@sid:/home/coworking# apt install -t experimental plasma-base
    Reading package lists... Done
    E: The value 'experimental' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources
    root@sid:/home/coworking#


    To enable the experimental suite, add this line to sources.list, or to a
    file in sources.list.d:

    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian experimental main
