It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
The Plasma 5 Desktop has gotten rid of its Qt4 legacy. Since the release of
Applications 17.12 there's nothing left which is based on kdelibs4.
What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- In the 'deps' section there's lots of movement.
- The qt5 package has been updated to 5.13.0 which meant several updates
- to packages that depend on it: PyQt5, gpgme, sip, qt5-speech, qt5-webkit.
- And in order to compile the new release of qt5-webkit I had to add two
- new dependency packages: brotli and woff2.
- The update of opencv to 4.1.0 is meant to make it match the version that
- is available at slackbuilds.org (SBo). Unfortunately the face detection
- code in the '4' series of opencv is incompatible with frei0r, so I had to
- disable opencv support in the rebuilt frei0r package. This in turn may
- affect functionality in digikam.
- The mlt package was upgraded as well.
-- Frameworks 5.60.0 is an incremental stability release, see:
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.60.0.php
-- Plasma 5.16.3 is the the third increment in the 5.16 cycle of the desktop
- part of KDE. It focuses on fixing bugs.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.16.3.php
-- Applications 19.04.3 is a stability and bugfix update for the 19.04 cycle,
- see https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-19.04.3.php
-- In applications-extra I updated krita and rebuilt digikam against the new
- opencv.
+- Updates in the 'deps' section are as follows:
+ The qt5 and qt5-speech packages have been updated to 5.13.1,
+ PyQt5 was updated to 5.13.0 and there's a new official polkit-qt5-1 version
+ too: 0.113.0. The cryfs package was updated to 0.10.2 and the phonon layer
+ is now Qt5-only: phonon 4.11.0, phonon-gstreamer 4.10.0, phonon-vlc 0.11.0.
+ The telepathy deps have two updates: libsignon-glib and
+ telepathy-acccounts-signon.
+ Tell me if you actually use KDE Telepathy! I think it is a heroic but doomed
+ effort to create a voice & video capable IM framework for KDE. I am thinking
+ of completely removing it from my 'ktown' package set.

+- In applications-extra I updated krita, krusader and kstars.
