--- Comment #13 from Jim <jwag...@graffdeals.com> ---
Given the lack of response, I'm assuming that this bug is not going to be
addressed, so I began searching for a workaround on my own.  It failed, but I
wanted to document what I did and the results for anyone following this bug
report or finding it in the future.

I found that the kio packages are not flagged as being built for a specific
version of ubuntu and that
https://repo.miserver.it.umich.edu/ubuntu/pool/universe/ has the older (5.68)
versions.

First, I installed qml-module-org-kde-kio_5.92.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb in the hope
that this behavior was simply due to a missing dependency not being installed. 
Unfortunately, the problem still existed, so I removed the package.

I then installed kio-extras_19.12.3a-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb &
kio-extras-data_19.12.3a-0ubuntu2_all.deb - dpkg complained of missing
libopenexr24_2.3.0-6ubuntu0.5_amd64.deb so I downloaded & installed it.  It
then complained of missing libilmbase24_2.3.0-6build1_amd64.deb so I did the
same for that package too.  The problem still existed.

I installed libkf5kiowidgets5_5.68.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb over version 5.92 that
was on my system (installed by apt when the laptop was first set up).  Krusader
would not start - krusader: symbol lookup error:
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKF5Parts.so.5: undefined symbol:
_ZN3KIO13JobUiDelegateC1E6QFlagsIN14KJobUiDelegate4FlagEEP7QWidget when run
from a command line.

Figuring it needed the rest of the kio libraries, I installed these one at a
time, testing between each:
   libkf5kiontlm5_5.68.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb - same error
   libkf5kiofilewidgets5_5.68.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb - same error
   libkf5kiogui5_5.68.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb - same error
   libkf5kiocore5_5.68.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb - different error this time -
krusader: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKF5Parts.so.5:
undefined symbol: _ZN3KIO11TransferJob13mimeTypeFoundEPNS_3JobERK7QString
   kio_5.68.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb - second error repeated itself

Since krusader would still not start, I got to thinking that there are probably
other dependencies out there, so queried apt & found that there are 104 (!!!)
libkf5* packages on my system.  Decided that I do not have the patience to go
through the list, manually download each, and chase dependencies for every one
of them.

Removed libilmbase24 libopenexr24 kio-extras kio-extras-data with dpkg, then
installed kio kio-extras kio-extras-data libkf5kiocore5 libkf5kiofilewidgets5
libkf5kiogui5 libkf5kiontml5 libkf5kiowidgets5 via apt to put my system back
how it was, defect and all. :(

Does anyone know of any programs that look / feel / behave like krusader that
may not be affected by this flaw in the underlying KDE system?  Or know of a
viable workaround to fix the file locking issues introduced between 5.68 &
5.92?  Love the program, but it's just plain broken at this point, especially
with my using flash drives every single day.
