Description:

qt5-wayland needs to be a dependency, since without that, gnuplot is unable to start the qt window on a wayland desktop. This is especially serious because gnuplot now defaults to using the qt terminal.

Additional info:

I'm using the Gnome desktop environment


Steps to reproduce:

* Use a pure-wayland desktop,
* Have no packages depending on qt5-wayland
* Try to use gnuplot
This task depends upon

I'm so sorry, I did not spot the entry field for the 'summary'. Can it be edited? It should be "qt5-wayland dependency"

That sounds really strange, since gnome intentionally disables the Qt wayland backend unless you explicitely set QT_QPA_PLATFORM.

Anyway: Qt apps on a wayland session will fallback to xcb on xwayland if qt5-wayland is not available. If you don't have xwayland installed then of course they won't work. This is the case for all Qt apps, so I don't see why gnuplot should have a special treatment.
