I tried that, and discovered to my chagrin that I must have done
something fundamentally wrong when setting up my boot
environments/Zpools ... it seems I was affecting the pkg database in
non-active BEs when manipulating the active one's. This usually is not
a problem when the only direction moving through BEs is "forward" ...

Anyway, I re-installed the system, installed the packages, re-set SDDM
session to plasma-X11, and I'm back in the game :-)

Thx to all
Michael
