Hi.
Am I confused? Or is there a bug in unit conversion?
M-x calc RET ' 10 degC RET u c degK RET
gives 10 degK
That doesn't look right.

degC and degK represent temperature differences, and °C and K use the
same scale.

Those are for temperature differences. For converting absolute
temperatures, use u t as in
C-x * * ' 10 degC RET u t degK RET
