[FIXED] Why do I get gdb running all the time when using spectacle?

I have found that I always have a gdb process debugging spectacle when I use it.
Something like tis:

/usr/bin/gdb --nw --nx --batch --init-eval-command=set debuginfod enabled on --command=/tmp/drkonqi.yfnIag --command=/tmp/drkonqi.Lkeddl --core=/tmp/drkonqi-core.TpUVqA/core /usr/bin/spectacle

This seems to be happening only with spectacle.
konsole or other random KDE>Plasma applications don't show this behavior.
I am running:

Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.23.0
Qt Version: 6.10.2
Kernel Version: 6.19.6-zen1-1-zen (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 8 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz
Memory: 24 GB of RAM (23.2 GB usable)
Graphics Processor: Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics
Manufacturer: TUXEDO
Product Name: InfinityBook S 14 Gen6

Spectacle is v6.6.2-1.

Any hint?

I will give that a try whenever it will become available.

I see...

Likely my mirror is lagging a few hours behind.

That was it.
Mirror synced, package updated, crash is gone.
