Hello,

Well, today saw a a large influx of updates to move most (if not all - I
haven't fully checked) kf5 dependant software to Qt6.

It wasn't without problems - most options wanted to remove akgregator
korganiser and a few other things.  However, using Synaptic, it was
possible to mark each of them to be upgraded, rather than removed.
Ultimately, the upgrade went through pretty much painlessly.  I was left
with a lot of redundant kf5 libraries which were soon purged without
problem.

The only thing that couldn't be avoided was the removal of kjots
(superseded, I know) but MarkNote is not yet in testing, so I'm using
KleverNotes for now.  I will test MarkNotes when it arrives in testing.

A log out and back in was required to ensure the correct backend was in
use for Korganiser and, no doubt, other stuff.  I now have my events
list back in the clock applet.  So all is well there.

The only issue I have left is the lack of certain icons in my preferred
theme (oxygen).  There's no 'Bluetooth' or 'Lock Keys Status' icons in
the SysTray, just the generic 'blank page with a question mark' icon.
Same can be said for some of the icons in System Settings.  Possibly
there are others I've yet to find missing.  This, of course, is a minor
inconvenience.  Obviously, I could use another theme, but I just love
the oxygen icons - which makes it hard to change.  Irrational, I know,
but I'm only human.   ;-)

Thanks to all the KDE team.  "A Good Job, Well Done".
