I just did a sudo dnf update -y on my Fedora 33 KDE system and now KDE is completely broken after reboot.

Now when the system starts up, after I enter my password in SDDM I get a message: "The application kde5 has requested to open the wallet kwallet5. Please provide password"

I thought this was strange the first time, but then I saw KDE not even starting, my wallpaper did not load, the taskbar was not there. But I could use the terminal.

Hence I got the logs:

I found some misconfigurations after the update:

Those who don't want to look at the logs here are some interesting entries:

I need your help, as my system is almost unusuable.

Thanks,

Unfortunately you didn't tell the exact Plasma version, since I don't use the same distribution I would have to guess...

In general, problems after updates should be reported to the distribution, it is extremely hard to tell what went wrong as we don't have the list of what was changed.
What should be done of course is to make sure the update didn't miss something. Also booting on a previous kernel sometimes helps to get functionality back
