In a autopkgtest container made with 'autopkgtest-build-lxd images:ubuntu/bionic/amd64'

and a testbed setup script to add staging PPAs to test against as per: /usr/share/autopkgtest/setup-commands/kstaging

#!/bin/sh

apt-get -y install software-properties-common
add-apt-repository -sy ppa:kubuntu-ppa/staging-frameworks
add-apt-repository -sy ppa:kubuntu-ppa/staging-plasma
add-apt-repository -sy ppa:kubuntu-ppa/staging-kdeapplications
apt-get -y update

autopkgtest konqueror -U -s --setup-commands=kstaging -- lxd autopkgtest/ubuntu/bionic/amd64
