Arch Linux

Description:

Immediate symptom is that conversation installed by default can not run scripts. I first noticed by trying /exec cmd uname -a, and then various other konversation scripts such as /sysinfo (those failed silently.)

Without qtchooser installed and running /exec cmd echo:

File "/usr/share/apps/konversation/scripts/cmd", line 55, in <module>
konversation.dbus.info(i18n("The command executed successfully, but did not return any output or only whitespace."))
File "/usr/share/apps/konversation/scripting_support/python/konversation/dbus.py", line 52, in info
_dispatch('info', _prefix(message, prefix))
File "/usr/share/apps/konversation/scripting_support/python/konversation/dbus.py", line 87, in _dispatch
subprocess.call(_dbus_command + args)
File "/usr/lib/python3.3/subprocess.py", line 523, in call
with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as p:
File "/usr/lib/python3.3/subprocess.py", line 817, in __init__
restore_signals, start_new_session)
File "/usr/lib/python3.3/subprocess.py", line 1441, in _execute_child
raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'qdbus'

With qtchooser installed and running /exec cmd echo in the client:

qdbus: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt/bin/qdbus': No such file or directory

Checked for the right package:

xenith@arch-vm ~ :( $ pkgfile /usr/lib/qt/bin/qdbus
extra/qt5-tool

After installing qt5-tool all konversation scripts work as intended.

Problem:

Neither qtchooser nor qt5-tool are dependencies of konversation, and they are needed for basic functionality.
