pacman (upgrade from 7.1.3 -> 7.1.4) breaks Discover

After doing:

Packages (33) appstream-1.1.4-1  appstream-qt-1.1.4-1  archlinux-appstream-data-20260722-1
              boost-libs-1.91.0-2  ca-certificates-mozilla-3.126-1  cryptsetup-2.8.7-1
              gdal-3.13.2-1  giflib-6.1.3-2  kimageformats-6.28.1-1  kirigami-addons-1.13.1-1
              lame-4.0-1  lib32-libnm-1.58.0-1  lib32-libva-2.24.1-1  lib32-nss-3.126-1
              libdovi-3.4.0-1  libdvdread-7.1.1-1  libnm-1.58.0-1  libssh-0.12.1-1
              libtool-2.6.2-1  libwacom-2.19.1-1  linux-7.1.4.arch1-1  linux-headers-7.1.4.arch1-1
              networkmanager-1.58.0-1  nss-3.126-1  onetbb-2023.1.0-1  opencv-5.0.0-7
              openssh-10.4p1-3  python-sentry_sdk-2.66.0-1  srt-1.5.6-1  svt-av1-4.2.0-1
              syntax-highlighting-6.28.1-1  taglib-2.3.1-1  vivaldi-8.1.4087.56-1

Seems something breaks Discover ( KDE Plasma ) because when I open it, I get flatpak not installed etc., even trying to reinstall the entire Plasma won't fix it. I don't have the exact error now because in panic I did a full system restore from a backup but I thought maybe someone else sees this issue as well.

Ps. I know it's a stupid way to report a problem but kind'a in a rush now. If I have time, I'll try to update again to see the exact error but probably more people will have this issue soon.

OK, it's one of these causing it: Packages (3) appstream-1.1.4-1  appstream-qt-1.1.4-1  archlinux-appstream-data-20260722-1

Going to install one by one to see which one did it.

Re: pacman (upgrade from 7.1.3 -> 7.1.4) breaks Discover

The error: "Arch Linux is not configured for installing apps through Discover--only app add-ons. To use Discover for apps, install Flatpak using the pacman package manager. Review Arch Linux's packaging for Discover"

(Reinstalling entire plasma / discover etc. will not fix it, rebuilding cache etc., same, won't fix it.)
