Plasma 5 fails to start after update

After last kde packages update, my plasma desktop won't start anymore. When I run 'startkde', I get the error:

➜  ~  startkde 
startkde: Starting up...
KCrash: Application 'kdeinit5' crashing...
KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib/drkonqi from kdeinit
sock_file=/run/user/1000/kdeinit5__0
KCrash: Application 'kdeinit5' crashing...
KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib/drkonqi from kdeinit

sock_file=/run/user/1000/kdeinit5__0
startkde: Shutting down...
klauncher: Exiting on signal 1
startkde: Running shutdown scripts...
startkde: Done.

I found that running with sudo it works. I tried chowing and chmoding 777 the directory /run/user/1000 but made no difference. All other desktop environments and applications seem to work normal. What could be causing this issue?

Thanks in advance and happy new year
