mendeleydesktop was recently bumped from version 1.18 to 1.19.2. As in already with version 1.18, Qt5 is required, see https://bugs.gentoo.org/653396. This dependency can still not be fulfilled. Therefore, mendeley cannot start: brehler@manakov ~ $ mendeleydesktop /opt/mendeleydesktop/bin/..//lib64/mendeleydesktop/libexec/mendeleydesktop.x86_64: /usr/lib64/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.10' not found (required by /opt/mendeleydesktop/bin/..//lib64/mendeleydesktop/libexec/mendeleydesktop.x86_64) /opt/mendeleydesktop/bin/..//lib64/mendeleydesktop/libexec/mendeleydesktop.x86_64: /usr/lib64/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.10' not found (required by /opt/mendeleydesktop/bin/..//lib64/libMendeley.so.1.19) I would highly appreciate if version bumps would be tested prior to pushing them. This breaks mendeley once again on my machines. Think the packages requires to be masked, since the workaround in commit https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/a7400c02c6ff4df4bcd55c2872173361fc58db22 does not seem to work. Furthermore, the ebuild prints uses xdg_pkg_postinst: >>> Installing (1 of 1) sci-misc/mendeleydesktop-1.19.2::gentoo /var/tmp/portage/sci-misc/mendeleydesktop-1.19.2/temp/environment: line 2288: xdg_pkg_postinst: command not found
Alexey, I see you've done 3 out of 4 of the last version bumps, it would be appropriate to add yourself to maintainers for this package.
So, how can this be fixed then? The old version starts spitting errors and I fear the day it won't work at all. Also, all my colleagues use the newer version, which I am unable to due to this bug.
Correction: The old version IS broken. You cannot use it to log in anymore. I had to transfer my oauth2token (in the config file) so I could use it at all. So once this token times out, it's over.
After the big Qt 5.11 bump 5.19.2 works flawlessly without any changes. The old plugin (1.17.13) is obsolete, as it causes blockers. Thank you for maintaining this application.
