This is a package issue with your distribution and not a digiKam error. Report the problem to your distribution.

The latest Tumbleweed updates have not only broken digiKam, the desktop entry for Chromium is also broken, for example.

A compiled digiKam works without problems here with OpenCV-4.13.
