Description Kishore Gopalakrishnan 2023-04-09 06:32:38 UTC 
SUMMARY
When I type `kate --version` in a terminal, there is no output (process just exits immediately). Similar for `kate --help` and `kate -h`

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In a terminal, type `kate --version`

OBSERVED RESULT
No output

EXPECTED RESULT
Version number should be printed

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Kernel Version: 6.2.10-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
kwrite --version
and
dolphin --version
work, so it doesn't seem to affect other KDE applications.

Kate opens fine if I don't pass any options.
