ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Carlos De Maine 2025-07-05 06:57:18 UTC 
in 6.4.0 plasma vaults switched to supporting only gocryptfs, commit https://invent.kde.org/neon/kde/plasma-vault/-/commit/899153ec01a457f240506723416711d261fccfe1 reflects those changes in runtime dependencies
Comment 2 Ivan Čukić 2025-07-05 07:16:14 UTC 
Plasma Vault supports all backends it used to, it doesn't support **creating** new vaults with backends other than gocryptfs anymore (for the time being - might change in the future)

Removing encfs/cryfs packages makes previously created vaults inaccessible to the users which is a serious bug on Neon's part.
Comment 3 Carlos De Maine 2025-07-12 08:32:30 UTC 
Git commit 93288f22b3d99e3ea5c7ea603d67120de591e52d by Carlos De Maine.

Pushed by carlosdem into branch 'Neon/release'.

bring back cryfs & encfs as runtime deps as existing vaults can still be used but not created with
