SUMMARY
When installing packagekit-qt5 1.0.2-1 after installing discover and closing/repoening it I get a warning that backends are missing (only two sources are endevour and flatpak no commpunity, extra, repos). 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install kde discover via pacman or yay
2. Open discover and check sources (only source will be flatpak)
3. Close discover install packagekit-qt5 via pacman or yay 
(https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/packagekit-qt5/) 
4. Reopen discover go to settings and check backends.

OBSERVED RESULT
When packagekit-qt5 1.0.2-1 is installed I get a missing backend alert for discover and flatpak. 


EXPECTED RESULT
No missing backends

Please tell your packagers. Discover sure works on archlinux.

I'm using the arch extra repo are you by any chance using this version or a different version?

nevermind it seems to be working now. Don't quote me on this but it may have had to do with the libalpm 12 to libalpm 13 due to pacman (I cloud be completly wrong).
