SOLVED : thanks to Antonio Rojas (arojas) for redirect my to the right solution :
https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/556 "

dsteinborn commented on 11 Jan :
"Also crashing with segfault on my archlinux installation with 0.13.0-2 installed.
I generated a config file as described in the documentation using sddm --example-config > /etc/sddm.conf then modified #HideShells= to HideShells=/sbin/nologin,/bin/false and rebooted. It results in a segfault. Commenting the line with the HideShells configuration allows normal startup."


commenting HideShells solved the problem .

The comments of  FS#47062  have become a dumpground for all kind of unrelated SDDM issues, don't pay attention to them. The actual issue tracked there is https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/556, and your backtrace matches that.
You can try rm -r /var/lib/sddm/* as this seems to be some sort of cache corruption issue that manifests itself after Qt updates.
