If the sftp slave is not there, that look like a more generic issue.
Is that a Flatpak?

> Is that a Flatpak?

Sorry that I asked, you marked it properly as such!
Comment 3 jonas.harer 2025-11-20 16:59:20 UTC 
I noticed that Okular is affected by this too, so I think it is an general issue with Flatpak.

I think this is the same issue as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509470.
