I logged into my computer today to be greeted with a cascade of crashed app reports. The few programs that still work appear to have reset to default settings. At first I thought the issue was with KDE - which it often is - but when GPG refused to work, I suspected a bigger problem. A cursory review of journalctl shows a litany of core dumps. The only change I've made to my system since it was last working last night was to upgrade against Forky.

I know this is vague, and I haven't followed troubleshooting and debugging procedures. My question is simply whether this is a known issue with a pending fix or whether I'm on my own with 1000s of lines of logs to read through.

Forky? That's testing I assume, not sid.
Was it running and not buggy when you finished?
... lastly can you apt update now?

i'm usually running and applying testing updates every
day and i didn't run into this sort of problem.

it may just be the case that i'm not running the same
packages that you are.

however, to me though it sounds like you may have a storage
or problem.

Further to below: I had previously tried using apt-get instead of apt
but that gave the same results; I installed aptitude and got this message:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kwin-style-aurorae : Breaks: kwin-data (< 4:6.6~) but 4:6.5.4-5 is to be installed
?????????????????????Breaks: kwin-data:i386 (< 4:6.6~) which is a

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
????Remove the following packages:
1) ????xwaylandvideobridge [0.4.0-3 (now)]
????Keep the following packages at their current version:
2) ????kwin-style-aurorae [6.5.4-1 (now)]
????Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
3) ????kwin-wayland recommends xwaylandvideobridge
4) ????plasma-desktop recommends plasma5-integration (>= 6.2.90~)

I accepted the solution and the backlog seems to be resolved.

I'm not sure if this is the same problem, but for the last week or so
I've been getting an increasing number of packages showing as upgradable
that aren't being upgraded. It's up to 395 right now. They are mostly
KDE and LibreOffice related.
I don't have any packages marked as being held. I have no idea what is

I'm not sure about the answers to your question.

But if you are having upgrade troubles with testing or sid, you might
consider two things. First, boot to a virtual console (ALT+F2,
ALT+F3, etc) instead of a windowed environment. Second, use Aptitude
to perform the upgrade. I like Aptitude when things go sideways
because it seems to have the best solver among the package managers
used by Debian. That is, Aptitude can find an upgrade path when other
tools cannot, like Apt or Apt-get.

OP might just need to do an apt-get dist-upgrade.
