[SOLVED] kde-unstable: Problems with network manager

Since the release of Plasma 6.3 beta, the "Wi-fi & Networking" section of System Settings just shows:

Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt6/plugins/plasma/kcms/systemsettings_qwidgets/kcm_networkmanagement.so: Cannot load library /usr/lib/qt6/plugins/plasma/kcms/systemsettings_qwidgets/kcm_networkmanagement.so: /usr/lib/libplasmanm_internal.so: undefined symbol: _ZN14NetworkManager8Notifier27connectivityCheckUriChangedE7QString

And the Networking widget in the system tray shows something similar:

file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.networkmanagement/contents/ui/main.qml:11:1: Cannot load library /usr/lib/qt6/qml/org/kde/plasma/networkmanagement/libplasmanm_internalplugin.so: /usr/lib/libplasmanm_internal.so: undefined symbol: _ZN14NetworkManager8Notifier27connectivityCheckUriChangedE7QString

The bug I raised on KDE (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498457) was closed saying it's a packaging issue

Solved it by enabling core-testing and extra-testing

Re: [SOLVED] kde-unstable: Problems with network manager

kde-unstable always mandates the testing repos, you need to have them enabled when using it.

Not strictly always, I tracked 6.2 Beta with them disabled. But the advice in the Wiki (third bullet in red) is quite clear.

If it worked without, it was because of random luck. They are always built against the testing repos.
