16.04 w/o KDE PIM?

[Marcelo Magno T. Sales]

Maybe you should go back to 14.04 then, because 14.10 reached its EOL and
its repositories are no longer available.
I didn't go beyond 14.10 either, because I did not want to go to plasma 5
so early after all I read about it being incomplete and not completely
functional. I think I got traumatized when I switched to KDE 4 right after
it was made available. However, now I'm running 14.04 again, because I
couldn't install anything from the repos in 14.10 anymore...
