kmail does not start on noble

[Christoph Thielecke]

I upgraded from 22.04 to 24.04 and now kmail does not start anymore:

kmail
kmail: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKPim5MailTransport.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN9QKeychain11isAvailableEv

It seems that something went broken on building packages.

[Christoph Thielecke (crissi)]

I found that if I preload /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libqt5keychain.so kmail starts:

LD_PRELOAD=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libqt5keychain.so kmail

It seems that kmail isn't linked correctly to search for the shared library.
