You shouldn’t, that’s a packing bug.
It’s fine to raise this kind of issue here, thanks for that ! and I will fix it 
in the next upload.

To give some background, when working on KDE packaging we usually update whole 
package sets in one go. That’s 83 frameworks source packages, ~45 plasma, over 
200 Gear, and several times that number in binary packages.
When the packages build we then install the whole set to ensure they’re not 
broken.
So on our packaging machines we usually have all the packages installed and 
don’t notice these kind of issues.

Some packages declare these runtime dependencies as such in their cmake 
makefile but not all of them do, so your testing and feedback is appreciated so 
we can fix it for everyone else.

I have to disagree with that.
I never liked the old « open with » window which I found hard to navigate.
Hard to make everyone happy I guess…


Happy hacking !
