SUMMARY
Yesterday (2022-12-17) update failed with error as following:
<cut>
Package failed to install:
Error while installing package: trying to overwrite
'/usr/share/applications/kcm_kwindecoration.desktop, which is also in
package kwin-common 4
</cut>
Seems kwin is broken because doesn't start and because of this no decorations
of window.
Alt+Tab doesn't work. Win+Tab (switching activities) doesn't work.
Anyway use of Plasma is very difficult in this status.
pkcon reports:
