** Description changed:
- `merkuro-calendar` doesn't open unless I `sudo apt install qml6-module-
- qtlocation`.
+ [ Impact ]
+
+ * merkuro fails to start with a runtime qml dependency error. On a
+ standard Kubuntu desktop the dependency would have been pulled in by
+ other packages, so the error would not occur. However, when merkuro is
+ installed on other desktops or with non standard package selection this
+ can happen.
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ * Try to start merkuro from the package version 25.12.3-0ubuntu1 on a
+ system where the package qml6-module-qtlocation has not been installed
+ and observe the error in the terminal.
+
+ * Install the fixed version from proposed and retry this, observing
+ that the error no longer occurs.
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ * We are adding a runtime dependency, so there is little room for error
+ on that score. However, we are also rebuilding merkuro from source
+ against an archive that will be a little different in its state than
+ when the original package was built. So some testing for unintended
+ regressions should be performed.
+

3) What you expected to happen
Running `merkuro-calendar` should open a window.
4) What happened instead
```console
- $ merkuro-calendar
+ $ merkuro-calendar

# Workaround
Manually installing the package fixes the problem. But the packaging
should add something to `Depends:`.
