I'm in an unsupported, partial upgrade state

There is something about the llvm file that only gives me a partial desktop when I boot up. Holding it back allows a normal boot and desktop. Perhaps I need a later mesa version. Will investigate.

I thought at first it was a plasma issue, but then I realized, no plasma files were updated. Curious, apps would open but all had their title bar missing. No panels on the desktop either.

That doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense, as the Testing branch version of mesa is the same as Unstable & Arch:

mbn info mesa -q | grep -v 'Packager'
Branch         : archlinux
Name           : mesa
Version        : 1:24.3.3-2

The same with llvm:

mbn info llvm -q | grep -v 'Packager'
