Error on updating widget

SUMMARY
Widgets/Addons cannot be updated

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right-click and select `Add widgets...`
2. Click on button "Get new widgets..." and select "Download new plasma widgets"
3. in window "Plasma Widgets", click on toolbar button "Show Only Updateable Entries"
4. the window content shows "No items found" message, however if you select "Show Only Installed Entries" button, the window content shows all widgets installed, every entry showed has 2 floating buttons (Use, Uninstall) or 3 floating buttons (Use, Update, Uninstall). This means that updateable widgets are not being recognized properly,
5. for updateable widgets, if you click on "Update" button, you get an error message similar to this:

> Installation of /tmp/vsXxBE-Vivid-Dark-Plasma.tar.gz 
> failed: /home/warcayac/.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme/Vivid-Dark-Plasma already exists

the same happens when trying to update for Themes, styles, etc in the System Settings.

OBSERVED RESULT
1. Updateable widgets are not listed on clicking on "Show Only Updateable Entries" button
2. Updateable widgets raise error messages when updating

EXPECTED RESULT
1. Updateable widgets should be listed on clicking on "Show Only Updateable Entries" button
2. Updateable widgets should be able to update
