Comment 1 Laurent Montel 2024-03-20 21:15:48 UTC 
it's a problem with neon package.
Please report to neon distro.
Regards
Comment 2 Nicolas Fella 2024-03-20 21:17:50 UTC 
This is already reported under Neon
Comment 3 pipapo 2024-03-20 21:35:32 UTC 
Exactly the same for me.
Comment 4 Ghislain Vaillant 2024-03-20 21:43:24 UTC 
Same problem with merkuro:

```
$ sudo apt install merkuro
$ merkuro-mail
QQmlApplicationEngin failed to load component
.../libmerkuro_mail_plugin.so : (libZXing.so.3: cannot open shared object: No such file or directory)
```

Can be fixed by installing the `libzxing3` package.
Comment 5 Carlos De Maine 2024-03-21 02:49:42 UTC 
kf6-prison needed recompiling which pulls in the new libzxing3.

Installing the libzxing3 package works also for kde neon user edition
$ sudo apt install libzxing3
