Re: Bug#809176: vlc: Should depend upon libqt5xcbqpa5
retitle 809176 Merge platforms plugins into libqt5gui5 thanks With the team we decided to merge the plugins with libqt5gui5 for the time being. This means that installing libqt5gui5 will need more dependencies. We summed up to be around ~3MiB in libs. If at some point we are requested to split the plugins due to size issues (specially if the footprint somehow becomes ~10MiB) then I'm afraid that packages will start to need to depend/recommend the necessary plugins.

If linking against libqt5x11extras5 requires libqt5xcbqppa5 to work, libqt5x11extras5 needs to depend on that package or emit proper dependencies via its symbols / shlibs file.

Hi Sebastian, vlc packagers! I'm afraid there is one misleading point here: the name of the package. It's not a lib at all, it just happens to be a plugin which links against a lib. The lib is totally private to the plugin. I'm planning to fix this in Qt 5.6. So basically if you want to use Qt5 and *depend* on X11 you should really consider depending on this plugin. Now I won't play ping-pong with the BTS. I'll let you decide what to do: either reassign this bug back to VLC or I'll close it on a few days. Kinds regards, and the best for 2016, Lisandro. -- So that's it - insecure, indiscriminate, user-hostile, slow, and full of difficult, nit-picking people.

Bug#809176: vlc: Should depend upon libqt5xcbqpa5
Package: vlc Version: 2.2.1-5+b1 Severity: normal Hi! Sebastian Ramacher told me that vlc is a X11-only app. In other words, even if it's built against Qt5 it depends upon X11 itself (Qt5 apps can run without X11). If that's the case then it should depend upon libqt5xcbqpa5, which is the pluging used by Qt5 to use X11. This is the case of a non-automatic dependency (ie, not catched by our Debian tools) like QML stuff.
