Dear Maintainer,

Today I turned on my computer, and KDE just crashed plasmashell. Plasma worked
nicely in the past, and I haven't made any changes to my desktop at all,
everything is as it was years ago... And now this happened. And there were no
updates or anything like that, which would led to this crash.

There's an upstream bug report by someone else, multiple people experiencing
this, here in 2025 July!
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507263

Thanks for fixing it!

Dear Orson,

That's bad but at the same time it's strange that the crash started occurring without any update to Plasma in bookworm.

At this stage and since we're 2 weeks away from the planned release of Trixie, I would advise to upgrade and report back whether that fixes the issue for you. The whole Qt/KDE/Plasma stack has gone through a tremendous amount of changes in the 2 years since the bookworm release.

Yes, but upstream doesn't support the version we currently have in bookworm, so don't expect a solution from there.

Again since the next Debian release is around the corner I don't think it's worth digging into this issue just now.


Happy hacking,
