Nextcloud client fails to start after system update (stable branch)

Support System Updates

Nextcloud client failed to start after Stable Update applied 7 August 2026.

nextcloud: error while loading shared libraries: libKF6DBusAddons.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Based on the pkgfile command output below, the missing library is provided by the kdbusaddons package:

$ pkgfile libKF6DBusAddons.so
extra/kdbusaddons

Not having the kdbusaddons package installed on my system caused the issue which was resolved by installing the kdbusaddons package. Based on running pacman -Qi command against nextcloud-client, the nextcloud-client package does not appear to require the kdbusaddons package:

It seems that the fix for this would be to have the nextcloud-client package require kdbusaddons.

The problem is that this is an Arch package — see the information in your “pacman -Qi” output — and thus it would be up to them to make kdbusaddons a dependency of nextcloud-client.

Thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression any issue that was experienced involving the Manjaro distribution was to be reported here first (at least according to the Arch Linux folk). I appreciate your help @Yochanan.

Hint: check the package info. If you see an email for the packager @archlinux.org then the package is taken unchanged from Arch. Otherwise it will be @manjaro.org.

Mod Edit: Fixed typo and added domain

Got it, thanks!
