Hey there! Thanks for the bug report Jurgen. As to why the `kubuntu-
desktop` was not installed before the upgrade, I cannot say, the logs do
point to it at least not being there before the upgrade.
As we can see, the upgrader does attempt to install `kubuntu-desktop`,
however in this case we can see that the `pulseaudio` and `pipewire-
alsa` packages conflict. If `kubuntu-desktop` was installed before, APT
would see that `kubuntu-desktop` previously provided `pulseaudio` and
has moved to `pipewire-alsa`, but since it wasn't, APT has no reference
as to which package it should choose.
I do think the upgrader should have surfaced to you that the metapackage
was missing, without requiring a deep-dive into the logs. Especially
since it solved your issue right now. I will reframe the bug title to
reflect this instead, please let me know if that was not your intention.
All the best,
Simon
