Aurora Login Screen Theme Missing

[ndbhamvani]

Describe the bug

On the Aurora login screen, the theme is missing and I get the following error:

The current theme cannot be loaded due to the errors below, please select another theme
file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/01-breeze-fedora/Main.qml: No such file or directory

What did you expect to happen?

An official Aurora theme should be seen on OS Login screen.

I'm having the same problem. According to 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomist on Discord, it looks like it's related to #1944

There aren't any issues when booting the previous image.

I tried to install another theme (plasma-chili as folder structure above) from system settings to see if I could apply that but it doesn't show up in system settings at all , is just empty.
