qdbus is Segmentation faulting

Question

I'm using KTimeTracker to monitor my time on different projects. I have a PHP script that periodically runs to give me an idea on how long I've worked in the day.

The PHP script used to connect to KtimeTracker using qdbus to save to file and then use qdbus to export the CSV file.

For those that wonder why I'm bothering with this setup, I work from home and need to monitor my time to ensure I'm working the right number of hours.

The script worked perfectly well for quite a while but has recently started failing when using qdbus. The simplest call to qdbus is : qdbus org.kde.ktimetracker /KTimeTracker saveAll

The result of this is

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

qdbus org.kde.ktimetracker /KTimeTracker

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

qdbus org.kde.ktimetracker

I'm sure that I'm missing something simple but just can't see it. I've spent a few hours already Googling but have come up with nothing.

I don't know if these are of any value

sudo zypper search --provides qdbus
