Unfortunately zypper is still insisting on installing some Plasma5 packages from the standard repos (and removing the KDE4 desktop in the progress), although my repo has a higher priority and my packages even have a higher release number. I have no idea why at the moment...
A workaround is though to explicitly install those packages from my repo: sudo zypper in --from my_KF5_repo baloo5-file baloo5-tools kactivities5 kscreen5 ksshaskpass5 ksysguard5 plasma5-addons plasma5-desktop plasma5-session kde-gtk-config5 (you have to replace "my_KF5_repo" with the name or number on your system of course)
Then a subsequent "zypper up" should not try to remove the KDE4 desktop packages any more. ("zypper dup" will still want to though)
Is there a way to get the KDE4 desktop back from the Tumbleweed repo? My test machine has already been converted and that one doesn't have btrfs so I can't roll it back (at least not easily). I had to nuke all configs on that machine since kded would run amok otherwise, something I don+#t have the luxury of doing on my main box (as I said, I'd need to get at least the mail settings transferred).
Sorry, but that's the best I can offer for now. I'll try to investigate more where exactly the problem lies, but TBH this hasn't really high priority for me and I'm not sure that's solvable at all (I did go through all package dependencies already).
I highly appreciate your efforts. I can't spend a lot of time on it this week anyway. Since it looks I won't be able to take the train on the weekend that may give me some unexpected hours to spend, though. Meanwhile I've upgraded the KDE applications to their latest and greatest. Konsole did segfault on first start and lost all profiles. It also doesn't handle my default font (Anonymous Pro) correctly at 10pt (it does at 6pt and >=11pt) and makes the line height the same as for 6pt. It's apparently a bug in the font handling of konsole or Qt. The same font works OK in Kmail and Emacs/Gtk3 and other fonts work in konsole. Ctrl-Ins and Shift-Ins do not work in the konsole anymore (I don't know if these were standard kayboard shortcuts or if I edited them). All of that had happened at the test machine as well, so it hasn't got anything to do with Plasma 5.3 at least. Most importantly, Kmail still works as does kwallet. I'll not try my luck with any further upgrades, at least not today… zypper is now down to this: The following 10 package updates will NOT be installed: apper ark digikam dolphin kdebase4-libkonq konqueror konqueror-plugins libkonq5 patterns-openSUSE-kde plasma-addons The following 78 NEW packages are going to be installed: baloo5-file baloo5-tools breeze breeze4-style breeze5-cursors breeze5-decoration breeze5-icons breeze5-style breeze5-wallpapers frameworkintegration-plugin kactivities5 kactivities5-imports kde-cli-tools5 kde-gtk-config5 kde-l10n-de kde-l10n-de-data kde-l10n-de-doc kde-oxygen-fonts kdelibs4support kfilemetadata5 kinfocenter5 kmenuedit5 kpeople5 kross kscreen5 ksshaskpass5 ksysguard5 ksysguard5-lang kwin5 libKF5Baloo1 libKF5BalooXapian1 libKF5JsEmbed5 libKF5KCMUtils5 libKF5NetworkManagerQt6 libKF5Runner5 libKF5Screen6 libKF5Style5 libKF5Su5 libKF5UnitConversion5 libKF5WaylandClient5 libKF5WaylandServer5 libQt5CLucene5 libQt5Concurrent5 libQt5Designer5 libQt5DesignerComponents5 libQt5Help5 libQt5Multimedia5 libgstphotography-1_0-0 libkdecorations2-5 libkdecorations2private5 libkscreen2-plugin libksysguard5 libksysguard5-helper libpoppler-qt5-1 libqt5-linguist libqt5-qtgraphicaleffects libqt5-qttools libxcb-cursor0 milou5 oxygen5-sounds patterns-openSUSE-kde_games patterns-openSUSE-kde_internet patterns-openSUSE-kde_multimedia patterns-openSUSE-kde_office patterns-openSUSE-kde_utilities patterns-openSUSE-kde_utilities_opt patterns-openSUSE-kde_yast patterns-openSUSE-sw_management_kde plasma5-addons plasma5-addons-kimpanel plasma5-desktop plasma5-desktop-branding-upstream plasma5-workspace plasma5-workspace-branding-upstream plasma5-workspace-libs sddm-branding-openSUSE sni-qt systemsettings5 The following 8 NEW patterns are going to be installed: kde_games kde_internet kde_multimedia kde_office kde_utilities kde_utilities_opt kde_yast sw_management_kde The following 21 packages are going to be REMOVED: baloo-file baloo-tools kactivities4 kcm-touchpad kde-gtk-config kde4-l10n-de kde4-l10n-de-data kde4-l10n-de-doc kdebase4-workspace kdebase4-workspace-ksysguardd kscreen ksshaskpass patterns-openSUSE-kde4_games patterns-openSUSE-kde4_internet patterns-openSUSE-kde4_multimedia patterns-openSUSE-kde4_office patterns-openSUSE-kde4_utilities patterns-openSUSE-kde4_utilities_opt patterns-openSUSE-kde4_yast patterns-openSUSE-sw_management_kde4 plasma-addons The following 8 patterns are going to be REMOVED: kde4_games kde4_internet kde4_multimedia kde4_office kde4_utilities kde4_utilities_opt kde4_yast sw_management_kde4 78 new packages to install, 21 to remove.
