Hi everyone, I ran apt full-upgrade last month and accidentally deleted a couple packages that weren’t supposed to be removed, due to me not paying enough attention. I could recover most of the system just fine, since most of the missing features and related packages were obvious to me. However, I still couldn’t figure out why transparency is not working on KDE, both in Wayland and X. I suspected it could be a missing compositor, but libwayland and libqt6waylandcompositor6 (and related packages) are all installed (and that wouldn’t explain why it isn’t also working on X).

I have attached a screenshot to illustrate what I mean.

I would appreciate if anyone could help me figure out what package might be missing that is causing this issue. Thanks in advance!

    Debian doesn’t have package groups in that sense. kde-full is just a package which depends on the other KDE packages.
    So, if you tell it to install kde-full, it’ll just check that, yes, it does have the kde-full package installed, whether all the dependencies are fulfilled or not.

    You can try doing apt --fix-broken install (without specifying a package), maybe that will pull in the missing dependency.
    Or you can reinstall: apt reinstall kde-full
