So kde-plasma upstream has been redoing the barcode/prison related stuff in klipper recently, and while it still builds with USE=-qrcode, at runtime the klipper tray icon appears but klipper's not working and the popup menu has this error: Error loading QML file: file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.clipboard/contents/ui/clipboard.qml: 110:13 Type BarcodePage unavailable file:///share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.clipboard/contents/ui/BarcodePage.qml:26:1: module "org.kde.prison" is not installed Which is correct, it's not. But USE=-qrcode is supposed to turn off the requirement for it and with the rework it apparently is no longer doing so. (Upstream) HEAD is currently e3a3631cb, merged as it's a run-time error, but I suspect (without yet testing) that the culprit commit is: commit 7bd9bea07 Author: Kai Uwe Broulik <kde@privat.broulik.de> Date: Fri May 29 09:15:58 2020 +0200 [Clipboard Plasmoid] Port to Prison QML import ... tho previously I was at 3a39bd947 (tho I'm not absolutely sure on it either... but I've been updating every few days and think I used klipper in the last week so it can't be too far back), and there's a number of other klipper/prison related commits in the area as well. OK, now that I've filed I'm off to narrow it down a bit further and will update if it's not fixed ahead of my doing so.
This would be better reported upstream then.

They didn't change their config flag or maybe made it required now and Gentoo/KDE hasn't synced up yet? I've been actively filing upstream bugs as I've found must be nearing a dozen recently (mostly with the new kwin/rules-kcm) and ~half are already fixed, but I thought this one might be a gentoo/upstream sync thing given the qrcode USE flag, so I filed it here. But I can file it upstream given you believe it's not gentoo-side. Gonna take a look at that commit now that I nailed it down, first, tho, and perhaps confirm USE=qrcode as a workaround if the several additional deps it seems to pull in aren't monsters.
Yeah, seems to be upstream (based on the commit and error). It should be still runtime-optional but they seem to have missed a change at a tail end of clipboard.qml, which wasn't touched in that commit, and there's nothing clipboard/klipper related since (all the related commits were before). As a quick test /*..*/ commenting about 5 lines there seems to work around the problem for no-qrcode folks but probably breaks the folks that use it so isn't a fix. But it's obviously upstream's bug so I'll close here, file there, and put the upstream bug here when I have it.

Upstream bug at the URL, but here it is too so anyone reading here won't have to scroll up for it. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422308
