application launcher crashes on kde 5.27.80

Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.245.0
Qt Version: 6.6.0
Kernel Version: 6.6.1-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

When I update to 5.27.80, the application launcher crashed (cannot open) and says:

file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickoff/contents/ui/main.qml:20:1: 
Cannot load library /usr/lib/qt6/qml/org/kde/plasma/private/kicker/libkickerplugin.so: 
(libAppStreamQt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

But I have that `.so` file

$ cd /usr/lib/qt6/qml/org/kde/plasma/private/kicker/

Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
Write programs to work together.
Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.

It hasn't been released yet, but if you clone https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … /appstream and run `makepkg -si` in the repo, the version it builds and installs will fix this for you.  I just ran into it myself and it did work.

As mentioned on the wiki: [kde-unstable] requires [extra-testing]

Thank you. After I uncommented [extra-testing], I got:

pacman -S appstream-qt && pacman -Suy
