#8 Plasma Updating Error

[Jack Richards]

I installed the Plasma flavor of Salient OS, but I am having difficulties with upgrading software. First, I attempted to update the software via the Package Manager, but got an error. I then moved on to the terminal for updating, but received the same error message.

:: installing plasma-workspace (5.16.2-1) breaks dependency 'kuiserver' required by dolphin-root

Could I get some insight into the issue? Would love to have it fixed, as I cannot install any packages with the Package Manager.

Uninstall dolphin-root first. From terminal:

yay -Rs dolphin-root

(it'll probably tell you that kde-servicemenus-rootactions needs go too, let it, you can add that back in afterwards).

Once Dolphin is uninstalled from terminal:

yay -Syu

System should now update ok. Reboot after update/upgrade. Now you can add Dolphin back.

yay -S dolphin-root
yay -S kde-servicemenus-rootactions

Reboot again.

Should be good.

According to the terminal, I cannot uninstall dolphin-root because it breaks the dependency "dolphin". Similar to the earlier issue.
