KDE clipboard not getting cleared

Description:

When pass is run with the -c option, it says that it will clear the clipboard in N seconds, but this doesn't happen with KDE Plasma 6.

Additional info:

  • package version(s):
    • pass 1.7.4-7
    • qt6-tools 6.8.2-2

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Log into a Plasma 6 session.
  2. Run pass -c pass-name. Observe console output similar to the following.
    Copied pass-name to clipboard. Will clear in 45 seconds.
  3. Observe the password in Klipper, the KDE clipboard manager.
  4. Wait 45 seconds (or the duration indicated in the output produced in Step 2).
  5. Observe that the password is still in Klipper.

It looks like pass is expecting an executable named qdbus, but only qdbus6 is available on the path by default.
