I was on Parrot 4.8 and then I updated parrot by running sudo parrot-upgrade after the update was finished KDE was removed and MAte was installed. I would like to know why this also happed before on version 4.6 or 4.7 (can’t recall which one) and now it happened again. I cleared my choice to use KDE when I first downloaded KDE edition of ISO then why does parrot kkeeps removing KDE and install Mate? I don’t want Mate I don’t like it then why after every update it removes it?

Please write **No** or any URL to this issue bellow 4. How did you get this error? Are there any steps to procedure it? Today saw there was an update and ran Parrot-Upgrade, which removed some packages, including KDE desktop. Re-installed KDE desktop, but having some issues getting back icons. I think theres also an issue with package, qt5-default, broken package dependencies with libqt5gui5-gles and qtbase5-gles-dev. GTK theme settings gone in the application style menu why did these packages get removed? I tried using different themes, icon set, deleted icon cache, still doesn’t come up. 5.
