Hi.
For a few days I have been having a dependency problem with "libkf5solid5_5.75.0+p20.04+git20201017.0151-0_amd64.deb" package. Apparently it depends on libudev1 >=246.6, but Ubuntu 20.04 repositories version is 245.4.

$ pkcon update

Fatal error: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libkf5solid5: Depende: libkf5solid5-data (= 5.75.0+p20.04+git20201015.0112-0) but 5.75.0+p20.04+git20201017.0151-0 is to be installed

I clarify that my installation is not a pure Neon installation. I had a Kubuntu 20.04 installation to which I added Neon repository (testing), and after various dependencies fixes using "aptitude", I was able to have Neon without problems, until a few days ago where this problem appeared.

EDIT:
Maybe "testing" Neon version is based on the latest Kubuntu beta and not on 20.04?
If this is so, I think I will have to use Neon "User edition" repository.

EDIT 2:
So I'm using "user" Neon repositories and now apparently there are no problems. What I don't know is if I will get future updates with "user" repositories since my original packages were installed from "testing" repos. So I'll see how this goes later.

I have a regular testing installation and have this problem too. The needed udev version is in 20.10, but testing is based on 20.04 LTS.

I'm searching for a solution since I build kdenlive from git to help in testing, and now I'm unable to do it, since the mismatched kf5 versions make the build fail.

Yes it's weird. Since Neon is always based on Kubuntu LTS versions, it is strange that Testing is using Kubuntu 20.10 versions for those packages.

Anyone file a bug report on it? It might not be known until someone points it out in a place the devs are more likely to see it.

On bugs.kde.org file the bug under Neon >> 'Packages Testing Edition'

I had searched where to do KDE Neon bug reports and I had not found the information on the Neon web page. I will report now.

I switched back to Testing repositories. Apparently today there have been changes in this regard and I can update correctly now.
