Hi - this has occurred in the past as the result of a packaging issue in a distribution - see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dolphin/+bug/2084206 as an example of when this occurred in Kubuntu, and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494480 for Neon. Could you please follow the Debian bug reporting process (https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting) to have this reviewed?

Thanks!
