SUMMARY
Just updated system with pkcon update.  KDE System Settings is now 5.18.3 and crashes.  I am not super technical so forgive me for being unable to provide more.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings
2. Try to click on anything at all in system settings under the appearence category, and the window closes and a dialog is produced saying that it crashed.

OBSERVED RESULT
May be related to packages or variables installed in my own system, I am not sure if this is recreated on everyone else's system as when I openned it in terminal, this was the output:
