Some updates to questions (combined into one reply for simplicity): > By default the qt4 version should be called except the user does something > to force the situation like installing qt5-default or passing -qt5 > as argument or setting the environment variable you discovered above. Ahh, now this rings a bell. For some reason I cannot now recall (but was perhaps to do with changes in type marshalling?), I needed qdbus to call the qt5 version some years ago and created: $ cat ~/.config/qtchooser/default.conf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu which works just fine under stretch but not under buster. Deleting the file makes everything work just fine. Replacing it with the following also works fine: /usr/lib/qt5/bin /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu So the cause of the problem was my config file and not a general problem (hence downgrading the severity). There are some smaller bugs instead: a) why does the old config file no longer work b) when /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin is just a symlink farm to /usr/lib/ qt5/bin, why does one work and the other not? c) how can that rather useless error message be improved. I have a feeling that (a) and (b) are linked and are probably packaging bugs. > Please also check if you have any configuration file in /etc/xdg/qtchooser nothing there > > Do you have qt4-default or qt5-default installed?
