SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 4.18.18-1-MANJARO/5.14.3
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.52.0
Qt Version: 5.11.2
Kate Version: 18.08.3-1
Ktexteditor Version: 5.52.0-1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The error persists for some months already but I simply thought this will get fixed soon.
I reinstalled the package of the failing shared-object (which is ktexteditor) as well as kate itself. Didn't help.

I also noticed that, when i downgrade ktexteditor to 5.35.0-1, I instead get this error:
kate: error while loading shared libraries: libgit2.so.25: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So there seems to be some problem with the versioning.
I checked all versions regarding this and it seems that kate gets a never version than intended.
