SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Install Devuan Linux with KDE 
2. Login with X11 support
3. Open Discover software, click on start

OBSERVED RESULT
Error msg and no applications listing, could not find any application. Worked better after configure flathub sources, but if I need an application I have to do a textual search . No visual (icons) . Textual search works, as double click on a downloaded .deb file. 

EXPECTED RESULT
Applications available listing and selection through the list. Applications 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Devuan 6 Excalibur
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6
KDE Frameworks Version:6.13.0 
Qt Version: 6.8.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Hardware : Thinkpad T430 notebook, i5-3320M CPU 16GB ram. Worked perfect on Kubuntu 24.x and 25.x on this same hardware, just made a Devuan fresh installation keeping the /home partition which was on Kubuntu also. Tested with a Virtualbox brand new virtual machine with default Devuan installation and problem also happened.

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 6.3.6 no longer receives updates or maintenance from KDE; active versions are 6.4 or newer. Please upgrade to an active version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need help with Plasma 6.3.6, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing help for older releases that are no longer receiving updates from KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
