Severity: important

Hash: SHA1

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

   I installed nanovna-saver after seeing it is packaged for Trixie and
   later.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

     I tried to start the program from a shell prompt to get terminal
     output, but apparently no executable is installed in the normal bin
     path.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

   Nothing.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

   A program that runs.


Here is the journal output:

I then manually installed the pyside6-tools package (which seemed
reasonable, but could be wrong) which pulled in a lot of dependencies
but trying to start the app still fails:

Using trusty Aptitude, I see that pyside-6tools reverse depends on the
python3-qtpy-pyside6 package.  After installing it, the program now
opens.  As I understand it, no assumption should be made about installed
packages and thus I think that nanovna-saver should depend on the
python3-qtpy-pyside6 package to ensure that all UI dependencies are in
place.
