Public bug reported:
[Impact]
If a user attempts to install skanpage in any desktop environment other than
Plasma, which has quite a few qml dependencies preinstalled, skanpage will fail
to launch citing a few qml modules missing. For some reason, this doesn't get
picked-up by shlibs but, since the corresponding dev files aren't there, this
can be expected.
For what it's worth, these dependencies aren't required to build, but
just required in the runtime environment.
These dependencies are:
qml-module-qt-labs-platform,
qml-module-org-kde-purpose,
qml-module-org-kde-kquickimageditor
[Test Case]
Using Ubuntu Desktop, install skanpage. Attempt to run.
Expected: Window shows up with the UI.
Actual: Application eternally hangs rather than launching. If launched from the
terminal, skanpage will complain about missing QML modules.
[What could go wrong]
As this adds some additional runtime dependencies, an unwanted side-effect is
that this will use slightly more disk space and add more KDE dependencies to a
non-KDE environment. However, having the application function greatly outweighs
these slight inconveniences.
[Other Information]
Later versions of skanpage in later releases of Ubuntu use Qt6 and do not seem
to have this problem. This issue applies only to Noble.
