Description:

kruler appears to depend on libxkbcommon, but the package doesn't depend on it (even transitively). Using ldd on /usr/lib/qt/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so as recommended on the Qt wiki page identifies that library as the missing dependency on my system.

I don't fully understand why qt5-base doesn't just pull it in. It seems pretty explicit that it's a dependency of Qt, but I guess maybe they're more like optional dependencies? In either case, kruler clearly depends on it (see repro steps below), so the dependency should probably be added to either kruler or qt5-base.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install kruler from pacman on a system that does not yet have the libxkbcommon-x11 package installed
2. Try to start kruler, instead get the following error:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

This task depends upon

Felix: should this be added to qt5-x11extras instead?
