SUMMARY

Starting with KDE Gear 22.08, kwrite requires kate, so installing kwrite also installs kate, as well as removing kate also removes kwrite. The part of kate that kwrite depends on (I guess it's the kateprivate library) should be moved to a separate package, and kwrite should no longer depend on kate.

Thank you for your bug report! 
However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since  before 01/01/2025. 
Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's.
Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!
