I also eventually found out that I need to install the ebook-tools package, but I'm not really happy with the way it is. It feels like a "this is why we can't have nice things" moment. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Nobody said anything about "doing it right". There is no "right" here, just different opinions about how packaging should be done. Arch policy is not to split plugins out of packages, and if you ask me an average Arch user should be able to figure out this error message by themselves. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

They are shipping a plugin without it's dependencies, they shouldn't do that. On a more abstract note, what you're asking is impossible, Okular doesn't know about it's plugins, there can be any number of plugins, shipped by third parties (calligra for exmaple does) so it can't telll you what you are missing to execute about a plugin it doesn't know about. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
