After the latest update keepassxc crashes with zsh: segmentation fault keepassxc

[Testing Update] 2026-06-23 - Kernels, KDE Frameworks, KDE Gear, Xorg-Server

This is working for me via KDE.

journalctl -f yield any clues?

I can’t replicate it on KDE with Keepassxc 2.7.12-3. Can you provide more info on how it occurred? Can you replicate it?

journalctl -f yields this whenever I try to launch keepassxc via terminal:

Try to remove/deactivate this gnome extension and check again …

Deactivated Extension “Appindicator and KStatusNotifierltem Support”. Unfortunately the kepassxc still crashes. Maybe there’s an issue with libfontconfig?

It was included in this update, so possibly. However, I’m not having any issue on KDE so it also seems likely a Gnome issue.

Same/similar issue here: [SOLVED] keepassxc crashes with fontconfig 2.18.1 / Applications & Desktop Environments / Arch Linux Forums

fc-cache -r is apparently a fix.

Yep. Seems to have fixed it. Thanks for highlighting that forum post!
