Thanks for testing!

Oh...

Did that actually just start with the new LibreOffice version 6.2.1 and was not
the case with the earlier version 6.2.0.3 that this bug report was initially
created against? I'm not aware of any relevant change that may have changed
that, but if that actually changed, one might have a look at what was the cause
for this.

Is there any problem with installing the linked kio libraries for this scenario
(even though they're not used at run time)?
If needed, I'd usually expect that distro packages whould have it as a
dependency, and e.g. Debian packages behave that way [1], so the problem you
describe wouldn't occur there.
Like the name suggests, the "kde5" VCL plugin is primarily targeted at
providing good integration into kde5, so without further knowledge, I'm not
sure whether it's actually a bug it requires kf5 libraries. But I totally see
your point it's somewhat unfortunate they're required when they're not even
used at run time.

Do you have an idea on how to solve this? I'm not really familiar with what
options you might use to influence linking or any other aspect in a way to
properly address this.
