Details

Description: Package extra/marble 15.08.0-1 does not install all of its runtime dependencies.

Additional info:
After installation of marble, during its start a couple of plugins cannot be loaded because some runtime libraries are not installed. Output is e.g.

Ignoring to load the following file since it doesn't look like a valid Marble plugin: "/usr/lib/marble/plugins/libWlocatePositionProviderPlugin.so"

The following packages provide the missing libraries: libwlocate, gpsd and quazip-qt5

Steps to reproduce: Install extra/marble with libwlocate, gpsd and quazip-qt5 not installed and run marble from a shell, observe the output.
This task depends upon

Not having the KML plugin (quazip-qt5) breaks the program, so this is not an optional dependency. Either compile the package without quazip-qt5 so it lacks .kmz opening support but can open .kml, or make quazip-qt5 a mandatory dependency.

How does it break the program? Only the libKmlPlugin is linked to libquazip5

Edit: I just opened up the program just fine without quazip-qt5 installed.

Here's an example: In the Map View Panel, choose OpenStreetMap. Afterwards in the Legend Panel, click on "Play a tour of popular places". Nothing will happen because it fails to open the tour since it is a .kml file that cannot be opened due to the lack of the KML plugin.

Marble is modelled around KML and at the moment the KML plugin is mandatory. We will look into making it an integral point of Marble at some point, but for now please install the plugin in a way that makes it work. This is possible either by not having quazip-qt5 around at compile time (.kmz opening is not required by Marble internally, only for end-users to open compressed KML files) or by making it a mandatory runtime dependency also.
