I'm getting the same issue with a longer error message on a fresh debian KDE plasma install.

Hello!

Eddie needs pkexec but it is not pre-installed. Please install it and the problem should get solved. Usually it is included in the policykit-1 package:

sudo apt install policykit-1

but it could now have its own package in 23.10:
https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/23.10/ubuntu-main-amd64/pkexec_123-1_amd64.deb.html

After the installation you should see (among other new files) /usr/bin/pkexec and Eddie will find it as the directory is in the command path.

Kind regards
