This here is the issue. Whatever provides this libclang, it seems to be 
miscompiled or one of its llvm dependencies is broken and missing this symbol. 
None of this is directly related to kdevelop, please reach out to your distro 
packagers or try to understand it yourself. Figure out if you have the llvm19 
libs still installed and whether version 19 is correct to be used.

Hope this helps
