Just installed 42.2 (nice! Not an issue so far. Many thanks to the
developers!)
I tried to install knode, but it tries to downgrade kmail and other
packages. I suppose that a new version is not ready yet, and might appear
soon, but in Yast there is an option to “ignore the dependencies” and
install anyway. Has anybody tried this? Would an old version work? I fear
the answer is “no”, but I thought I would ask anyway before I break
something unnecessarily. Thanks.
AFAIK knode is only available in the KDE4 version, which would explain the downgrade suggestion,

I’m about to try the “ignore” option here as other threads seem to imply
that knode for KDE5 availability is doubtful. Pan works as a substitute
but is not as easy - personal opinion.
If you try the knode4, please share your results.

Thanks for the replies. No I have not tried knode4. I just learned that
knode5 does not and probably won’t exist, so even if the old version
worked I gather that it is not a good long term option anyway. 
I am posting this with pan, which seems fine so far.

An if you want to see that no one needs akonadi or a database to read news than
you can give kde3-knode a try

Knode hasn’t been supported actively for ages, probably even before
KDE4. Response I noticed in bugzilla to a bug in a certain option that I
needed was to remove the option so I ditched the thing.
Pan is fine if you just need a newsreader but I needed mail as well so
eventually settled on Claws. Tried TB but inability to notice x-posted
messages was a bit of a bind [bug on that dates back to last century
and is still active!]. Claws has Fancy problems with Plasma-5 which I’ll
raise elsewhere.

I did, ignoring the warning… it does not work.
I am using Pan now, but I miss knode… oh well

I appreciate the info. I had no luck either.
Like you, I find Pan serves the purpose but has some awkward implementation
tricks.
