I was upgrading packages so I could install a new web browser. I have already dealt with problems today from upgrading the system itself and also dealt with the usual problems of slow web browsing slowing down my life.
Now after the package upgrade there is a black screen when logging into KDE. I can start krunner with alt-F2 and then start konsole and then I noticed there is no window manager running so when I run kwin_x11 I see the error:
ld.elf.so.1 shared object "libkdecorations2private.so.7" not found, required by "kwin_x11"
I have tried to fix with:
sudo pkg upgrade -f plasma5-kdecoration
but the problem remains.
There are also no further packages available to upgrade.
I did not attempt this upgrade lightly. I would have stayed with what I have if the web browsing situation was not so dire. The choice was between not using e-commerce sites or doing internet research or fighting with upgrade issues and I chose to fight with upgrade issues.
