@Carlos Blanquer Bogacz:

I am not fully sure, whether your problem is the same at the one of the original poster, but the following command should solve your problem:

sudo apt remove libkf5baloowidgets5

Then try
sudo apt upgrade
and report the results.

Remarks: I assume that your problem may be related to the change of KDE Framework 5 to 6 starting with Ubuntu 24.10
In future please do not piggyback on somebody else's question, but create a question document of your own.

@Manfred

Thanks for the help. this unlocked the upgrade and 33/37 files got ok. I will fix the remaining.
Apologies for messing around instead of opening an own ticket. Cheers.

Can you help with this problem?
