Dear all,
Thanks a lot for the amazing work to deliver a really nicely experience when using Debian and KDE Plasma 6 (and many KDE apps).
Thanks a lot also for the communication while doing this !

We’ve filed bugs for all the rdeps not in our team’s perimeter some weeks back [1]. We will be bumping their severity to RC in preparation the upload of Plasma 6 to unstable. We've tried our best to identify affected packages but we may have missed some so if you know your packages depend on Plasma and they're not in this list please do double check compatibility with Plasma 6.

I have a question.
Is there already a place where this issue would be tracked ?
I cannot get links to open when using Nextcloud client (web login page into your browser or local folders) or I just tested with this command:
xdg-open /home/<login>/Téléchargements
This has no effect and I am unsure how best to debug this.
Any clue would be appreciated (even it it means reaching out to KDE contributors)
