From the red hat bug report.

Maybe the problem is that we are calling it from weird environment variables? I'm really not sure of what could be going on there.

If say LD_LIBRARY_PATH is used, kde-open5 may try to load teamviewer bundled Qt instead of system Qt.

That makes a lot of sense. I'm not sure though that there's anything we can do in our end, it sounds to me like an issue in teamviewer.

Have you tried reporting to them?
