Kcm_translations.so is missing / System Settings / Regional Settings / Language page is not working

[agron]

On the Regional Settings page, only Language page is not working on Plasma, all other pages work such as Formats, Spell Check and Date & Time.

Is this a bug?

libpackagekitqt5.so.1 is owned by packagekit-qt5 package.
kcm_translations.so is owned by plasma-workspace package.

Either partial update or you did not reboot the system after update.
Run

sudo pacman-mirros -f5 && sudo pacman -Syyu packagekit packagekit-qt5 plasma-workspace

KDE Language Settings Broken

OK thanks, I’ve done that and there was actually something missing. But even after rebooting, the problem is still there.

Actually not. Some dependency definition is missing, so packagekit-qt5 never gets pulled… Maybe plasma-workspace should depend on packagekit-qt5?

PS: Sorry for answering an slightly old thread, but a moment ago other user asked in a Telegram group about it and I noticed that I had the same issue. Although I solved it I was a bit curious if others had noticed this before.

packagekit-qt5 is optional for plasma-desktop and frameworkintegration.
Based on the latest KDE description brand that can be read here Repositioning the KDE Brand | KDE.news

• The KDE Workspaces will be separately referred to as “KDE Plasma Desktop” and “KDE Plasma Netbook”

The order of importance and subsequent dependencies is Workspace < Desktop < Packagekit

I see your point, but in practice a user without technical knowledge just see an error and have no clue how to solve it. That it’s just what I’m saying.

@cfinnberg

have no clue how to solve it.

Isn’t the forum for such situations?

so, how did you fix it?
I notice the same thing on my system.

The thing is, when I update, I never reboot, I only shutdown, then turn on.
I had no idea that the Reboot is more important.

@bogdancovaciu already mentioned which packages contain those files, so you can deduce from that what you need.

But in general if some file (usually a library) is missing you can always update file database (so you have latest info) and (regex) search to which package it belongs:

sudo pacman -Fy
pacman -Fx libwhatever.so

If you have just the same error, then the solution is to install the packagekit-qt5 package
