            Bug ID: 469599
           Summary: Kontact and Kmail broken after upgrade to KDE 5.27.5
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Neon
                OS: Linux

          Severity: critical
          Priority: NOR

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
***
I just upgraded from KDE 5.27.4 to KDE 5.27.5 and Kontact is now gone. The icon
is still in my start menu but when I click on it nothing happens.

I see in the journal log this message:
[code]
May 10 15:40:34 host plasmashell[2808]: kf.kio.gui: Failed to register new
cgroup: "app-org.kde.kontact-ca9cd8afcc1e4256bd90d768c5cac2c0.scope"
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnixProcessIdUnknown" "Process with ID 40407 does
not exist."
May 10 15:40:34 host plasmashell[2808]: kf.kio.gui: "<html>The command
<tt></tt> could not be found.</html>"
[/code]

Does anyone have any idea what this means? What can I do to get my email back
working again?

If I try to open just the kmail app I get this unhelpful message:
[code]
May 10 15:42:51 host systemd[2214]: Failed to start KMail - Mail Client.
[/code]

Help!!
***
