Today usual updating replaced probably all K apps with extra/K. It didn't break anything but it was weird and scary when it's 100s of apps

Ya.. There I thought "God, things are going to break..".. But all is good so far.

So it went smoothly for everyone? Big W for KDE Team!

Big W for KDE Team!

KDE team had nothing to do with it. This is just a package rename done by Arch maintainers, presumably in preparation for the Qt6 versions of these packages.

It's just package renaming. To prepare for qt6 versions coming in 4 or so months.

Yeah that was kinda scary. My guess is to start accommodating for plasma 6?

Yep. Happened for me on EndeavourOS. Everything is still working just fine.

Went fine for me, just pressed enter a lot of times

Remove k-something-5? [y/N]

You can just add --no-confirm to skip all that
