Além de 'apt check', o comando apt verifica a solidez da configuração dos pacotes?

Question

Eu fiz esta pergunta antes Que comando apt é usado para verificar a solidez da instalação ou configuração incorreta? e, embora a resposta esteja correta apt check , não resolveu o problema quando o testei, como no texto citado abaixo.

Portanto, a questão é como você analisa a condição de seus pacotes para garantir que tudo esteja bem antes de um comando apt install informar você sobre isso?

I run a dist-upgrade which broke kde 5 on sid without realizing it until I rebooted and tried to login to the desktop again. So I tried apt-get plasma-desktop and I get a whole slew of errors listed in this pastebin, pastebin.com/njJVrdWR . How would I know that the apt package configuration is in such a state without trying to install something

Aqui está a saída de tentar reinstalar o desktop de plasma.

vfclists@hp01:~$ sudo apt-get install plasma-desktop

UPDATE: Quero observar que estou executando uma configuração de ponta com a saída uname abaixo. A questão está mais preocupada em saber como o apt detecta e informa sobre configurações incorretas, não sobre realmente corrigir meu problema, o que é melhor tratado no fórum do Siduction.
