Hi. When installing kde-apps/kate with the 'addons' plugin turned on, there are some dependencies that are missing, which in turn prevent at least one plugin from working. The plugin in question is the ktexteditorpreviewplugin, which apparently doesn't work without the kde-misc/kmarkdownwebview (for Markdown previews) and/or media-gfx/kgraphviewer (for DOT previews) packages. Right now there are no messages that inform the user that these packages are needed for that plugin to work, neither they are pulled in as dependencies when the addon use flag is turned on. At least one of these options would be expected during install. The forum discussion about the problem can be found here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1079896-highlight-.html Thanks.
kate docs make no mention of these dependencies, so at most we should add postinst einfo imo.
Yes, probably that would be the most flexible solution, as not everybody would want to use the preview plugin, and as such, we are honouring the rule of not increasing package clutter. Thanks.
