The CI images were updated yes, and an unfortunate consequence of us being
forced to use a rolling release distribution is that we do occasionally hit
binary incompatibilities such as this one.

The CI tooling itself does it's best to handle incompatibilities within KDE
software, however it does assume the underlying stack is stable.
Given that a full rebuild is usually warranted when the underlying stack
does change, this is a reasonable assumption to make.
