Okular flatpak error

General
1

It happened that ouf of (seemingly) nothing Okular flatpak version cannot be started.

Trying on command line I get

qt.qpa.services: Failed to register with host portal QDBusError(“org.freedesktop.portal.Error.Failed”, “Could not register app ID: App info not found for ‘org.kde.kioclient’”)

Searching log I find

Dec 07 17:01:39 hogwart flatpak[1435810]: /app/bin/okular-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libPlasmaActivities.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Looking into flatpak history I find

Dec 7 14:47:32 pull org.kde.Platform.Locale 6.10 system flathub
Dec 7 14:47:32 deploy update org.kde.Platform.Locale 6.10 system flathub
Dec 7 14:47:41 pull org.kde.Platform 6.10 system flathub
Dec 7 14:47:45 deploy update org.kde.Platform 6.10 system flathub
Dec 7 14:47:47 pull org.kde.Platform.Locale 6.8 system flathub
Dec 7 14:47:49 deploy update org.kde.Platform.Locale 6.8 system flathub
Dec 7 14:47:55 pull org.kde.Platform 6.8 system flathub
Dec 7 14:47:59 deploy update org.kde.Platform 6.8 system flathub

So, it seems that an org.kde.Platform update killed Okular.

What is the best way to deal with it?

As workaround I can use firefox or any other browser to load a PDF but…

Ok I found flatpak update in another thread having the same problem which solved it.

yeah this is a new issue with the KDE runtime, it’s known.

It’s already solved, just update your system and it should pull in an updated version of okular and gwenview
