SUMMARY
When installed package "fcitx5",
Kdialog misleading user to install package "kcm-fcitx" conflicts with package "fcitx5".

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. sudo pacman -S fcitx5
2. choose fcitx5 in System Settings > Keyboard > Virtual Keyboard
3. Right clicking the keyboard icon at the right side of taskbar and choose "configure"
4(!). Kdialog reporting to user to install package "kcm-fcitx"
5. sudo pacman -S kcm-fcitx, but did not succeeded because they are in conflict

OBSERVED RESULT
Two packages are in conflict (Because it's not for fcitx5) , and still not able to configure file in GUI.

EXPECTED RESULT
Kdialog should let user install fcitx5-configtool instead, so user can configure fcitx5 in GUI.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: -
macOS: -
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kernel version 6.6.32-1-lts (64-bit)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Actually "kcm-config" cannot be used by even "fcitx" even though it's optional required by it,
so it's completely useless and misleading from any aspect.
Use "fcitx-configtool" for "fcitx".
