When I run sudo pkcon update I get this:

Fatal error: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  plasma-workspace: Depends: libappstreamqt2 (>= 0.16.2) but it is not installable

Currently on KDE Neon 5.27

Continuing the discussion from Can't update KDE Neon:

When I run sudo pkcon install plasma-desktop I get this:

Fatal error: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kf6-kfilemetadata: Depends: libtag1v5-vanilla (>= 1.13.1) but 1.11.1+dfsg.1-3ubuntu3 is to be installed

Edit: Also unrelated, took me 5 minutes to figure out how to post a reply, the send button is offscreen, and I have to press the “enter fullscreen composer” button to see the button every so slightly peeking up at the bottom of the screen

Finally managed to fix it. I guess some fix was sent to the neon repos. I just ran sudo apt autoremove and then sudo pkcon refresh and sudo pkcon update
