This depicts the notification that appears.

SUMMARY:
plasma-discover reports that every offline update of the kernel has failed, whereas nothing except plasma-discover reports this.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Invoke bash or PowerShell (pwsh or pwsh-preview).
2. Invoke “su $(ps -jf 1|tail -n 1|awk '{print $1}') -c "dnf upgrade --refresh -y; dnf autoremove -y; dnf clean all; systemctl reboot"”
3. Authenticate the user and invoke a display-server. 

OBSERVED RESULT:
What the attached picture demonstrates appears.

EXPECTED RESULT:
Nothing should appear, because the error-message is nonsensical.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS:
Windows: Not affected.
macOS: Not affected.
Linux/KDE Plasma: Affected.
KDE Plasma Version: “5.25.3”.
KDE Frameworks Version: “5.96.0”.
Qt Version: “5.13.3”.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This may be caused by PackageKit. Additionally, clicking “Repair System”, which I accidentally did, appears to not cause anything. I have not evaluated whether "Open Discover" operates.

By “a display-server”, I mean startx (X11/XOrg) because I have not ascertained whether any alternative display-server prevents this. I realize that this is pedantic because probably none affect it, but I consider such specification to be important despite that. Apologies.

This occurred immediately subsequent to the subsequent re-initialization of the computer that this report previously describes.
