Bug#796098: libkf5guiaddons5: KDE is stuck in login splash screen

[Peter Marschall <peter@adpm.de>]

Package: libkf5guiaddons5
Version: 5.13.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I do not know if it the correct package for the bug report, please forward as necessary.

After today's upgrade, the KDE breeze splash screen remains stuck with the blue progress
indicator almost completely filled.

This happend on two machines, with two different processor architectures.
Switching display managers (kdm sddm) does not help.
Nor does rebooting.

As machines that got their upgrades yesterday are unaffected, my guess is, the
issue is related to the KDE / QT packages that went into testing today.

If I noted them correectly, they are:
- libkf5config{-bin,-data,core5,gui5}
- libkf5guiaddons5
- libkf5itemviews{,-data}
- libkf5modemmanager
- libkf5networkmanager

Downgrading those packages to stable is not possible, asd these packages were introduced
after the last release only.

In the end, I cannot use the graphical DE on those maschines.

Any help welcome in getting KDE back live.

Thanks in advance
Peter
