plasma has moved from epel into playground causing update conflicts

[Andy Hall]

Can the below be fixed ? I guess this package should not be in both repos...

# yum update

Short answer, no, there is currently no way for me to remove it from
playground.  I wish I could.
Unless you have a specific need, you shouldn't have playground enabled
anymore.  You don't need it for KDE anymore.

I've given instructions via email and web pages on how to install KDE
via regular EPEL8.  And yet, when people do a good search, the one
email I sent saying you should install it via epel-playground shows up
in the top 4 spots.  Please, disregard that email.  There is no need
for epel-playground to install KDE.

OK thanks for the tip...I'll check what else I use playground for and if only KDE will
disable it...and if not will run update --nobest I guess...
