[SOLVED][KDE] there's two volume control applet: kmix and plasma-pa

There should be only one.
kmix is required by kdemultimedia-meta.
plasma-pa is required by plasma-meta.
I reported it to upstream and am told to remove either one.
Why is kdemultimedia-meta dependent on kmix when there's already plasma-pa?

Because kmix is part of kdemultimedia and plasma-pa is part of plasma. They are two different tools that target two different use cases.
