Hi, I was using the application dashboard menu launcher and after the last update (update dated 10th July) it has just disappeared! Not only that but it isnt even in the list of menu launchers when i try to add a widget

Help!

Sounds like it may have been uninstalled? Try reinstalling it from Discover.

Tried reinstalling but it fails for a dependency plasma-widgets-addons

plasma-widgets-addons : Depends: qml-module-org-kde-purpose but it is not going to be installed

so i try to install the qml-module-org-kde-purpose package and get this

qml-module-org-kde-purpose : Depends: libkf5purpose-bin (= 5.72.0+p18.04+git20200712.0121-0) but it is not going to be installed

now i am in dependency hell over an update on friday

Just an update to this.
Luckily i have a clonezilla backup made a week before this update. I restored the image and noticed the update from friday says libkf5purpose-bin and plasma-widgets-addons will be removed in order to install a whole raft of programs in the system but none of the reinstalled programs are either of the two to be removed

This appears to be fixed in a later update. Everything is fine now
