Well, maybe when I tried what packages are needed, I had also installed 
these packages:

konqueror kwalletmanager kdeconnect-plasma

However later I uninstalled them because they seemed not to be needed. 
Maybe apt-get autoremove didn't remove all of the dependencies which 
were installed together with these packages. Therefore I would suggest 
to install these packages also.
