Hi Ben,

it looks like KStars doesn't use KAuth directly at all (ever since
https://invent.kde.org/education/kstars/-/commit/b17a8a3d4453e60d7f34023b8d633a80ebc37638).
I suspect that the find_package you are seeing comes from the public
interface of some dependency (KConfigWidgets comes to my mind, but I
need to look closer).

Cheers
