Can't install activities in kde plasma


I'm using Debian Bookworm, KDE plasma 5.27.5. I would like to set up Activities but although I have the Activities page in system settings, there is no option to create one.

If I try to add a widget, I have the option to use Activity Bar, Activity Manager and Activity Pager, but the last one shows only a single blank square, and the other two both give me this error:

file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.activitybar/contents/ui/main.qml:14:1: module "org.kde.activities" is not installed

I've tried searching, but all I find is how to use activities (I know that part), or why you should or shouldn't.

Can anyone help me, please? I'd be happy to install said module, if I could find it and figure out how...
Thanks in advance!

Have you checked that you have the packages?
For ARCH/Manjaro they are kactivitymanagerd, kactivities-stats5, and kactivities5
I am not currently running Debian so I cannot check the Debian package names.

Thank you! That was the problem, but I didn't know what to look for. Apparently, some of the packages were there, but not all of them. I have it up and running now.
