Exactly the same for me.
Same problem with merkuro: ``` $ sudo apt install merkuro $ merkuro-mail QQmlApplicationEngin failed to load component .../libmerkuro_mail_plugin.so : (libZXing.so.3: cannot open shared object: No such file or directory) ``` Can be fixed by installing the `libzxing3` package.
kf6-prison needed recompiling which pulls in the new libzxing3.
