Description slartibart70 2021-06-17 20:52:13 UTC
The info center does not show the plasma version any more since 5.22, only the frameworks version.
(in 5.21 we had plasma version, then frameworks version, then QT, ...)

I can't seem to reproduce this. Info Centre seems to show me all the same info as before on Arch Linux.

Which distribution are you running?

This would appear to be a Fedora-specific issue, perhaps a packaging problem. Please report it to them at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/. Thanks!

Where does kinfocenter get the plasma version from?
Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2021-06-18 14:54:16 UTC
To me, looks like the plasma version is supposed to be (essentially) hard-coded to the kinfocenter version,

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kinfocenter/-/blob/master/Modules/about-distro/src/PlasmaEntry.cpp

It does have this wierd code snippet there,

    // Since Plasma version detection isn't based on a library query it can fail
    // in weird cases; instead of admitting defeat we simply hide everything :P
    if (localizedValue().isEmpty()) {
        return;
    }


I'm guessing we're hitting that "wierd cases" ?

ah, source of the issue is really bug #436954 , interested parties can cc: there.
