Kontact Fails to Start

Kontact falis to start when I click on the icon. Going through the CLI produces the following messages:

Path override failed for key base::DIR_APP_DICTIONARIES and path ‘/usr/bin/qtwebengine_dictionaries’
Path override failed for key base::DIR_APP_DICTIONARIES and path ‘/usr/libexec/qt6/qtwebengine_dictionaries’
Path override failed for key base::DIR_APP_DICTIONARIES and path ‘/usr/libexec/qt6/qtwebengine_dictionaries’
KCrash: Application ‘kontact’ crashing… crashRecursionCounter = 2
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Another note: I am still getting new mail notifications.

I don’t know if this is related, but Falkon and all the Chromium-based browsers on my system also fail to start.

I already file a bug report in KDE Bugs (Bug #484775)

Great news!

After upgrading to Snapshot 20240425 in Tumbleweed, Kontact starts just fine. I tested it three times, and each time, it opened fine.
