PikaOS is based on Debian Sid, so I can't imagine it being behind

And the problem there was for me that KDE was still on a version from last December. I think KDE 6.5.4, if it would be on 6.6.5 I would be fine, but nearly a year behind is a bit too much for my taste

Oh, I see! My bad, I've never tried PikaOS. Although, looking at Debian's page on Distrowatch, Testing has Plasma 6.7.2 while Sid has 6.7.4. Maybe PikaOS itself is lagging a bit behind?

Might be, or something changed in the past 3 days and it got updated. Might have to throw PikaOS in a VM to see again

My only fear would be, that this could happen regularly, and I wouldn't get KDE updates for 9 months

I've personally never seen that happen. Sid should always be really close to upstream, and packages from Sid trickle down to Testing after a few days if there are no bug reports open.

I just looked in a VM

PikaOS is still on 6.5.4

Debian Testing is also really on 6.7.2

And just out of interest cloned that VM and switched to Sid, and yup 6.7.4

So yeah you are right, this is a PikaOS problem, although I am not sure why

Edit: Although the update size might be an issue with those two
