Plasma-pk-updates doesn't load in F37

Help

In my Fedora 37 system, since a recent update with more than 350 packages the PackageKit (“Software Updates”) applet in the system tray doesn’t load anymore.

Message:
Sorry! There was an error loading Software Updates.

file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.pkupdates/contents/ui/main.qml:25:1: plugin cannot be loaded for module “org.kde.plasma.PackageKit”: Cannot load library /usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/PackageKit/libplasmapk_qmlplugins.so: (/usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/PackageKit/libplasmapk_qmlplugins.so: undefined symbol: _ZN5Solid3Job16staticMetaObjectE)

Not sure if this is a bug or something in my system.

Same report here after a recent update of F37 on my Dell XPS 13
Been using this laptop since Fedora 30 and progressively upgraded to F37.

Update tray icon has changed to a orange/red colour and when selected gives this message:

“file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.pkupdates/contents/ui/main.qml:25:1: plugin cannot be loaded for module “org.kde.plasma.PackageKit”: Cannot load library /usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/PackageKit/libplasmapk_qmlplugins.so: (/usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/PackageKit/libplasmapk_qmlplugins.so: undefined symbol: _ZN5Solid3Job16staticMetaObjectE)”

Using terminal it is possible to update ‘sudo dnf update’ without errors.
As OP says, is it a bug ?

In lack of an answer here, I reported this as a bug 473548 – plasma-pk-updates applet doesn't load under Fedora 37 KDE desktop .
