Hi all, I just wanted to edit the default program to start a certain MIME type file with using Dolphin and got The executable program "keditfiletype" cannot be found in PATH (or whatever it may be in C locale). /usr/bin/keditfiletype is part of kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools, which wasn't installed on my system (maybe removed by some depclean?). I think Dolphin should pull this as it apparently needs it for basic functionality? Maybe, during the KF6 transition, something was lost (as there's also kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools-common)? Thanks for having a look at this!
PS: After installing kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools manually, I also noticed that "moung and open" of external media works again. The last time, I could only mount e.g. an USB-Stick, but Dolphin would not be launched to view it's content automatically. So maybe, kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools even should be already pulled by the Plasma desktop itself.
No, kde-apps/dolphin has never depended on kde-cli-tools, to my knowledge. However, in Plasma 5 it was much more prevalent since it contained the kcmshell binary, so the missing dep was not found out. And actually, in those times it came with a pretty hefty hard-dependency on plasma-workspace too, but KWin - among many other deps - was also depending on kde-cli-tools, so I had to put in the effort to make a custom standalone cmake buildsys for kde-plasma/libkworkspace:5. Fun, not. I was actually already looking at dolphin once, but could not put my finger on where exactly the dependency was coming in. Searching on lxr.kde.org for keditfiletype, dolphin actually does *not* show up, but kwidgetsaddons does. Yet - its error message does not match yours! Following up on source level splits, we actually have a nifty eclass mechanism now that manages to deal with simple ECM-based repositories in order to split out common files or easily build a certain (independent enough) subdir. I already made use of that with kde-plasma/kdesu-gui and kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools-common, and we can do the same with keditfiletype too. However, before we should firmly establish in what revdeps it is needed.

Thanks for the follow-up! kde-plasma/plasma-meta actually wasn't installed ... must have gone lost whilst I upgraded to KF6 before it was stable/easy/ready back then. Thanks a lot for that hint. That error message is q bit strange indeed. Examining the Dolphin sources, they don't even contain the string "keditfiletype", even less the error message I got ... Must come from somewhere else. Maybe from the "File Associations" KCM module?! I couldn't locate it yet ...
I think it's coming from kde-frameworks/kwidgetsaddons.

Yes. When I reproduce the problem, the error message matches with kwidgetsaddons. And of course the same happens also using krusader or file dialogs, whatever provides the file properties (KStandardGuiItem, I guess).
Here's one avenue we can take.
