Hi guys, I’ve hit a strange bug that I thought I could ignore for a bit, but haven’t been able to because some of the main apps I use has been affected and I don’t really know what’s causing it.
I’ve tried to change icon and system themes, but not luck.
I’ve also tried to reinstall qt5-svg and after a restart nothing seemed to change.
Some of my icons are just completely gone on some applications. As you can see in the screenshots below.
KDE team simply removed that heavily modified and non FDO compatible Adwaita icons theme from their settings. Because it’s broken and will cause bugs on non LibAdwaita apps.
Other desktops like Budgie and Cinnamon did the same.
Try to use Breeze icons theme or any compatible one.
I tried reinstalling the adwaita installed packaged in my system. since removing them give dependency break warnings.
-no changes in the missing icons.
I also tried changing with the different icon themes installed on my system such as Tela dark, oxygen, breeze dark, and breeze.
-no changes in the missing icons
I’m not sure if this information would prove helpful.
But prior to this error, and perhaps the cause of it, was a bug that I had where I was unable to load my DE.
Where I failed installing icu (75.1-1) breaks dependency ‘libicui18n.so=74-64’ I had to reinstall it with wget which then let me load back my DE and use my system.
I was able to manually install it back by following OPs instructions here.

I believe I have the correct version now.
This is the version I got:

Sorry for delayed reply, been sitting in my drafts for a couple of days. A query:
Is this a system upgraded from Plasma5, and if so, did you do this from a TTY as instructed in the Stable Update Announcement thread? If not, I’d expect such unexpected results.
I’d say reinstalling the DE isn’t too bad of an option. It might replace some missing or still-outdated stuff. You should at least keep the programs and settings you have, but definitely do that whilst logged-out of the Desktop Environment, and in a TTY.
I’d considered at one point switching branches but this won’t necessarily clobber the bits which are problematic; some packages might not get updated for a while if there are no changes.
It would be a useful experiment at least.
I would advise properly setting up e.g. Timeshift and doing a backup first, though.
