  • Re: qt6-svg-plugins should be a hard dependency from kde-full or task-k

    Thank you Christopher, I was suffering that problem (on sid), since the transition to kde 6...

    I haven't found what you find !
    I had filled a bug report, but on package kf6-breeze-icon-theme, which does not
    seems to be the problem with your finding.

    qt6-svg-plugin should be a dependency of something for sure.

    I am unsure exactly what package to file this bug against, so per the recommendation I am sending to this list. I suspect this should be filed against libqt6gui6.

    I run debian/unstable, and my system somehow got into a state where both kde-full and task-kde-desktop is installed, but all the SVG icons on the desktop were missing. I searched for packages with svg in the name and
    found that "qt6-svg-plugins" was missing, installing it brang back all
    the SVG icons. I retested, removing this package breaks the icons,
    bringing it back restores them.

    I had assumed that the transition to plasma6 was an issue, but after
    weeks of missing icons I decided to hunt the problem down.

    I suggest switching "qt6-svg-plugins" from a recommends to a depends in libqt6gui6 (or any more appropriate package that is eventually depended
    by the metapackage) as visible desktop icons probably should be part of
    the "full" install, and it's currently possible to simply uninstall it.

    We don't want to upgrade it to a hard dependency for libqt6gui6 as that
    would create a circular dependency.
    However, qt6-svg-plugins has now been made a hard dependency of
    plasma-desktop. This, unfortunately, won't cover all the cases where KDE software is used without Plasma, but all Plasma installations are
    covered now.
