FWIW, I had this recently -- for a week or so -- with Plasma 5.24.5 (from <br>
ports, though built locally with poudriere) and finally fixed it by force-<br>
upgrading the plasma5\* ports from my poudriere build. I suspect some <br>
underlying library has updated, but not all consumers have had versions <br>
bumped).<br>
<br>
After a forced reinstall of plasma from my local builds, the regular desktop <br>
came back.<br>
