Best regards,

P.S.: Addendum

# cd plasma-activities_6.5.0-3~pre0/

# LC_ALL=C apt install ./plasma-activities_6.5.0-3~pre0_amd64.changes
Error: Could not open file ./plasma-activities_6.5.0-3~pre0.dsc - open
(2: No such file or directory)
Error: Unable to determine file size for fd -1 - fstat (9: Bad file descriptor)
Error: The file ./plasma-activities_6.5.0-3~pre0.dsc does not match
with the hashes in the ./plasma-activities_6.5.0-3~pre0_amd64.changes
file!

^^ Looks like DSC file missing
