akregator doesn't start anymore.

I tried several time to get rid of those completely useless (to me) texttospeech, as it often breaks software (not only akregator, pulseaudio too for exemple), but never managed.
I confirm my original report : akregator hangs at start, it doesn't crash at all. It just runs, you can see it in 'ps', but no window is mapped on screen. That's because the whole process is stucked on the 'text to speech' plugin, waiting for something (that's the "select" on top of stacktrace). (gdb/stacktrace is useful beyond crash, as in this exemple)
I dont see that crash. qtspeech is a hard-dependency all over KDE PIM. For submitting to upstream your gdb stacktrace is missing debug symbols. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Debugging
Err.. i didn't report a crash. And i even confirmed in the last comment that it does not crash.
You pasted a stacktrace, it is missing debug symbols, no matter if it's a crash or not.
Any progress with 19.12.1?
i'm still using 19.12.0. I somehow managed to have it working by shuffling/removing speechtotext related stuff, but that's unstable (my distribution, gentoo, want them back). I dont dare touching anything.
And again, the current title "kde-apps/akregator - segmentation fault in ..." is wrong. There's not segfault, that's not my orignal report.
I'm not really sure how to move forward here when this is the only report of its kind, and the description is already talking about having tried to get rid of a required dependency.
Closing this for now as it is not clear to the maintainers what may or may not have been done to the local dev-qt/qtspeech installation and the reporter can not reproduce the problem at this point. Please reopen once the same issue happens again on a system with undoubtedly consistent Qt5 installation.
