Apparently it something in the following package upgrades that caused 
the breakage:

akonadi-19.12.0-2
libakonadi-19.12.0-2
python-pyqt5-5.14.0-3
qt5-base-5.14.0-1
qt5-declarative-5.14.0-2
qt5-graphicaleffects-5.14.0-1
qt5-location-5.14.0-1
qt5-multimedia-5.14.0-1
qt5-networkauth-5.14.0-1
qt5-quickcontrols-5.14.0-1
qt5-quickcontrols2-5.14.0-1
qt5-script-5.14.0-1
qt5-sensors-5.14.0-1
qt5-speech-5.14.0-1
qt5-svg-5.14.0-1
qt5-tools-5.14.0-1
qt5-webchannel-5.14.0-1
qt5-webengine-5.14.0-1
qt5-webkit-5.212.0alpha3-8
qt5-x11extras-5.14.0-1
qt5-xmlpatterns-5.14.0-1
qt5ct-0.41-2

When I downgrade that set, the problem goes away.
