I’m on Fedora 41 with Plasma 6 using Qt 6.8.
For example dnf5
reports:
qt6-qtbase-gui.x86_64 6.8.0-4.fc41 updates
I would like to install a package providing qdbus
command so I ran:
[piotr@demon]~% dnf5 provides /usr/bin/qdbus
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
qt-1:4.8.7-77.fc41.i686 : Qt toolkit
Repo : fedora
Matched From :
Filename : /usr/bin/qdbus
qt-1:4.8.7-77.fc41.x86_64 : Qt toolkit
Repo : fedora
Matched From :
Filename : /usr/bin/qdbus
Why is qdbus
provided by what seems to be the old version of qt (4.8.7
) and not qt6?
Searching for /usr/bin/qdbus qt6
finds this reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/1dijjn0/remove_qt_6_dbus_viewer/ with the link to Use of `qdbus` binary requires that the package providing it be made mandatory, which pulls in a bunch of unrelated developer apps (#60) · Issues · Plasma / Plasma Workspace · GitLab which mentions Add kdedbus6, a replacement for qdbus (!47) · Merge requests · Frameworks / KDBusAddons · GitLab which is closed with the comment
I think this got stalled, please re-open if one has time to revive it (if still needed).
