This is because an EPEL package (plasma-integration) has not been rebuilt against the newer qt5-qtbase in CentOS Stream 8. The EPEL package needs to be updated, but EPEL is targeting RHEL, not Stream so that might take a while.
Thank you, Josh! Despite using RH for >10 years. I am still quite confused with the various repositories in the RH universe. It seems the Stream does not support KDE. I can find it only in epel. So sounds, I should stay away from Stream and downgrade to v8 and rely on epel.
I did reverted to CentOS 8 Linux. Hence, I don't mind to close this ticket. Note: the /etc/pam.d/ gets spoiled doing so, but I was able to fix that. Thx Christian

This is because plasma-integration is basically a Qt plugin which uses private API and for that reason it is tied to the same version of Qt it has been built against so everytime we update Qt, we have to rebuild plasma-integration (+ bunch of other packages using private API). Sorry for late answer, I kind of overlooked this bug when I saw plasma-integration-5.18 which is like 2 years old version and thought it's an old bug.
