Disclaimer: this is most likely not a bug in kate, but I don't know
what package to assign this bug report to.  Please reassign appropriately.

Every time I open the 'file open' dialog in kate or a number of other
KDE apps such as kile or okular, I get a little error widget saying

   'Cannot open folder tags:/'

(My own translation: My German GUI actually says

   'Ordner tags:/ lässt sich nicht öffnen.'

)

If I click on the OK button the 'file open' dialog appears, and there
are no further problems.

I forgot to mention that the following message are printed
at the command line when the message widget opens:

I found an upstream bugreport:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437176

The workaround mentioned there (balooctl purge)
worked for me.

Thanks for your work on Debian.
