A week or so ago I got an update notification, and after waiting until I wouldn't have to uninstall any packages I gave it a go. Now, a week later, I finally had enough of kmail locking me out of my gmail account so often ("too many simultaneous imap connections"), and when my few days old install of kdevelop (git/head) no longer ran because of a missing libnepomuk dependency I decided I'd roll-back using ppa-purge (instead of using my zfs snapshot).
Doing so made me realise that the backport ppa had masked another, more official (?) update (in trusty/updates), to 4.13.3 . Which is the current stable 4.x release, and ought to be good enough for me...
So, what exactly is 4.13.97? Something that actually should have been labelled 4.13.3.97 because it's a 4.14 release candidate, and as such should be replaced by 4.14.0 once that hits, say, trusty/updates?
And, a bit late, is there a more streamlined way to back out of kubuntu/backports that wouldn't have required manual intervention? In the end I uninstalled a number of packages not existing outside the backports ppa using aptitude, which proposed me workable "solutions" that leave me with only a few packages to reinstall once the rollback is complete. I presume ppa-purge, since it already uses aptitude, could have proposed to uninstall those packages during the purge, which would have saved me from adding back the ppa (and doing an apt-get update) quite a few times (required to re-run ppa-purge after bailing out from it...)
