I am pretty sure no one replicated this setup for Runit based systems, so…
unless KDE starts it by some other means, like for example with "kded",
then it might just not run here. At least by looking at the package
drkonqi – see below – it does not seem to be auto started by DBUS in case
Systemd is not available.
I think in case it is triggered by a timer then you can disable or mask
the timer. Like
systemctl --user disable drkonqi-sentry-postman.timer
systemctl --user mask drkonqi-sentry-postman.timer
Also… as a last effort brute force approach for now, you could replace the
binary in "Exec=" in the service file with "/usr/bin/true" or something
like that. You could also chmod "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/
drkonqi-sentry-postman" to 000. At least as a stop-gap measure.
Those service and timer files are in package "drkonqi". So I bet that is
the package to report a bug for.
It might even be possible to just remove that package. However in addition
to some meta packages for some odd reason this would also remove the
breeze themes for SDDM. So currently I'd not recommend to do that. Also
you may prefer to keep those meta packages.
Best,
