Hi,
I did some investigation, and an even simpler way to break the loop is to ask
"why is katepart" a dependency of kdelibs5-plugins.
back in 4.7.4 Pino added:
* Make kdelibs5-plugins depend on katepart, to make it "provide" it as it
happened in << 4.7.
I think the dependency was added so "embedded advanced text editor" would show
up in: System Settings -> Default Applications -> Embedded Text Editor.
I rebuilt kde4libs after removing katepart from the dependency list and
installed the changed kdelibs5-plugins. Then I removed katepart, which also
removed: kwrite, kate, kde-plasma-desktop, kde-standard, plasma-netbook.
I relogged and got my desktop. I then looked in System Settings,..., Embedded
Text Editor and saw the editor chooser drop down box was empty -- until I
reinstalled katepart (by reinstalling kde-standard)
maybe the katepart dependency could be moved from kdelibs5-plugins to one of
the standard meta-packages?
katepart isn't really a hard dependency for kdelibs5-plugins, it's just needed
for a sane desktop configuration.
