```
Comment 2 Nicolas Fella 2024-12-23 11:45:24 UTC 
Translated error message: "uses incompatible Qt library. (5.15.0) [release]"

This is some sort of setup/installation issue, it's trying to load a Qt5 library
Comment 3 Alexander Potashev 2024-12-24 12:41:26 UTC 
It's not clear to me what a distro is supposed to do here for a fix.

The path file:///usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/newstuff/Page.qml belongs to installed package kf5-knewstuff-5.116.0-2.fc41. kf6-knewstuff-6.9.0-1.fc41 is also co-installed. Isn't the KCM supposed to find the compatible QML component at /usr/lib64/qt6/qml/org/kde/newstuff/Page.qml? If so, there's no installation issue then.

*** Bug 495338 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 5 Alexander Potashev 2024-12-28 16:18:56 UTC 
Oops, I had "export QML2_IMPORT_PATH=/usr/lib64/qt5/qml" in ~/.bashrc. Solved the problem by removing that line.
