Bug 1260394

Does

dnf install sddm-breeze

fix things?

If so, it's either selective upgrades to blame, or 'dnf update' not processing Obsoletes tags properly.

In particular, plasma-workspace.spec includes:

Summary:        SDDM breeze theme
# upgrade path, when sddm-breeze was split out
Obsoletes: plasma-workspace < 5.3.2-8
Requires:       kf5-plasma
# QML imports:
# org.kde.plasma.workspace.components
# org.kde.plasma.workspace.keyboardlayout
Requires:       %{name} = %{version}-%{release}

...

so upgrades from prior to plasma-workspace-5.3.2-8 (where sddm-breeze subpkg was introduced), should pull in sddm-breeze subpkg

Yes! It fixed the issue. Thanks!

So the problem is that plasma-5.4 update does not install sddm-breeze subpkg automatically.

Filed bug #1261034 to track the bad dnf behavior causing this upgrade snafu.  Will see if we can come up with some workaround(s) in the meantime.

Discussed at 2015-09-10 blocker review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-09-10/f23-blocker-review.2015-09-10-16.00.log.txt . #1261034 was proposed as a blocker, but we decided in discussion to take *this* bug as the blocker rather than the parent.

This bug was proposed and accepted as a 23 Beta blocker under the criterion "For each one of the release-blocking package sets, it must be possible to successfully complete an upgrade from a fully updated installation of the previous stable Fedora release with that package set installed. ...  The upgraded system must meet all release criteria." - clearly if you upgrade from 22 KDE to 23 KDE and can't log in, that's not 'meeting all release criteria'.

Why don't you just add "Requires: sddm-breeze" to the spec file until the dnf issue is resolved?

I'm seriously considering that... but the dnf bug will affect many other users and packages than just this one.

Ah, now I remember the "why", because of bug #1250204 , enterprises requested we ship a userlist-less sddm theme, and the way they could achieve that was to remove sddm-breeze pkg.  If we have a hard dependency, that's no longer possible

I just verified
* yum-deprecated works, respects the Obsoletes and upgrade path as expected
* PackageKit does not (like dnf), I'll file a separate bug shortly :(

Huh? They don't have to remove sddm-breeze for that, just to install the other (Fedora) theme and set it in sddm.conf.

So, Plasma 5.4 with many user-facing improvements is currently blocked for everybody because some enterprises can't deploy a sddm.conf to /etc with a different theme defined? Seriously?

No, it is blocked because our broken update policies allow untrusted users to DoS-sabotage any update for any (or even no) reason whatsoever.

For the record, this is being treated as a 'special blocker', which in context means we're requiring the update be in the 0-day stable push for Beta. I'm putting it on my todo list to come up with a better process for 'special blockers' (bugs that are sort of release blockers but don't require the packages to go into the frozen repos / media).
