<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">this is the wrong fix. well, it's not really a fix at all, it just allows any broken thing to go through. removing error checking is rarely the answer ;) clearly, it is failing for single image file wallpapers, which means Package::isValid() is thinking the package is missing things.
if you apply this simple patch in kdelibs/plasma, does it fix things for you:
diff --git a/plasma/private/packages.cpp b/plasma/private/packages.cpp

Wallpapers consisting of a single image (without a .desktop metadata or anything else), usually obtained via GHNS, are not valid packages, but are valid wallpapers.
Commit b60136e, besides moving the loading code to a separate thread, also started checking if a given found path was also a valid package, which kept any wallpaper downloaded via the "get new wallpapers" button from being listed at all.</pre>
