Details

The install script that generates the startkde script doesn't handle the fact that the install prefix may be /usr

XDG_DATA_DIRS="@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@SHARE_INSTALL_PREFIX@:/usr/share:/usr/local/share"

becomes

XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/share:/usr/share:/usr/local/share"

Which can cause interesting side-effects like the vulkan-icd-loader double-counting the installed GPUs.


Affects:
plasma-workspace - 5.10.5-2

potentially anything that uses XDG_DATA_DIRS without filtering out duplicates
This task depends upon

This sounds more like a problem with how vulkan-icd-loader handles it.

Right, if something can't handle duplicates in XDG_DATA_DIRS, it should be fixed. In any case, startkde comes from upstream, so please report this to bugs.kde.org
