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:
-- This month's updates to the 'deps' are: I removed qt-gstreamer since there
- is no other package which depends on it anymore (telepathy-kde-call-ui was
- the only one, but that one got removed earlier).
- I upgraded lensfun, mlt and sip. and I added a new package 'md4c' which is
- a dependency for Qt 5.14. However, eventually I decided not to upgrade my
- 'qt5' package because not all software is ready for Qt 5.14 yet.
-- Frameworks 5.65.0 is an incremental stability release, and it adds one new
- package (kquickcharts), see also:
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.65.0.php
-- Plasma 5.17.3 is a an incremental bug-fix release in the 5.17 cycle of the
- KDE desktop environment. See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.17.3.php
-- In plasma-extra I updated latte-dock and kdeconnect-framework. The latter
- depends on the two new packages that I have added to plasma-extra:
- pulseaudio-qt and kpeoplevcard.
-- Applications 19.12.0 is the start of the 19.12 cycle for what has been
- re-branded from "Applications" to "Releases". There's a new application in
- there: 'elisa'.
- See https://kde.org/announcements/releases/19.12/
-- In applications-extra I updated calligraplan, krita and kstars.
