Bug 668600 – dev-util/kdevelop konsole plugin needs dev-qt/qdbus

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Tomasz Golinski 2018-10-14 11:57:26 UTC]

When dev-util/kdevelop is installed without full Plasma desktop it may happen that dev-qt/qdbus is not installed as it is not pulled in by any dependency. However dev-qt/qtchooser installs symlink to qdbus which results in cryptic error message in kdevelop konsole plugin tab: 

qdbus: could not find a Qt installation of ''

In this way a lot of konsole plugin "magic" doesn't work (e.g. sync! command). The same message appears when trying to start "qdbus" outside of kdevelop. Manually emerging dev-qt/qdbus fixes that. 

I suppose a similar problem may affect other programs. I don't know what would be the best way to solve it - add qdbus to the dependency list of kdevelop or maybe to qtchooser (since it does install qdbus symlink).
