Plasma Discover is not working anymore.
Muon shows that it is virtual package.
It has happened after last updates.

How to fix it?

#1
I tried to install Plasma Discover using APTus but it failed.
Plasma Discover is not installed. This info shows APTus AppCenter.

I think that this issue is related to the latest updates.

Terminal info:
rektal@Sparky:~$ su
Hasło:
root@Sparky:/home/rektal# apt install plasma-discover
Nie udało się zainstalować niektórych pakietów. Może to oznaczać,
że zażądano niemożliwej sytuacji lub użyto dystrybucji niestabilnej,
w której niektóre pakiety nie zostały jeszcze utworzone lub przeniesione
z katalogu Incoming ("Przychodzące").
Następujące informacje mogą pomóc rozwiązać sytuację:

Simply you need change apt mirror to local one.

You can also write apt --fix-broken install.

It didn't help.
I used Timeshift to restore my system but after update Discover fails again.

This happened when I used APTus full update.
When I used APTus safe update system works fine.

I can confirm that the latest update removed plasma-discover.

Why? Should I stop using spu Sparky upgrade?

rektal

During update via Discover there is an info alert:
System package cannot be removed.
Nie można usunąć pakietu systemowego:

WARNING: You are trying to remove the following essential packages: libapt-pkg6.0 (due to apt) libext2fs2 (due to e2fsprogs)

There is alternative of plasma discover its called gnome-software.

Or synaptic manager sudo apt install synaptic-manger or synaptic.

If cannot be fixed use that for flatpak install gnome-software-flatpak for snap gnome-software-snap.

You need to wait for fixed that behavior of sparky.

Try also in synaptic manager force version.

Synaptic->settings->settings->distribution-> force distribution version something like that.

Then apply ok and update.

I am using Muon as an alternative package manager.
The problem is that I use Sparky 8 KDE and I have to use Discover to update flatpak and snap apps.

rektal

The problem solved itself. Today's update resolved the issue and the Discover feature was not removed.
