SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: plasma-workspace.x86_64 6.4.1-2.fc42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4
KDE Frameworks Version:  kf5
Qt Version: 4.8.7

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Journalctl reports 
file:///usr/share/plasma/shells/org.kde.plasma.desktop/contents/lockscreen/LockOsd.qml:10:1: "../osd": no such directory
Segmentation fault

Running "/usr/libexec/kscreenlocker_greet" generates the same problem. The directory mentioned does not exist. 
Installed packages
kscreen.x86_64                   1:6.4.1-1.fc42 updates
kscreenlocker.x86_64             6.4.1-1.fc42   updates

The directory should be provided by the package plasma-desktop but is not present. The older plasma-desktop-6.3.4-1.fc42.x86_64.rpm does have this directory.  I tried copying the directory from this  older rpm into the current location. It still did not work.
