--- Begin Message ---Package: qtcreator Version: 4.14.1-1 Severity: important Justification: Unable to use package Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Install qtcreator and launch it. File | New File or Project Application (Qt Quick) | Qt Quick Application - Scroll Hit choose Enter location. Next. Accept defaults until get to Kit Selection It says "No suitable kits found" and the Next button is greyed out. Desktop appears as the only entry in the bottom panel, but it is greyed out and hovering over brings up a bubble saying at least one required feature is missing. The Qt Version shows as None in that bubble. Clicked on the options link (or the manage button for the desktop kit) shows Desktop listed under kits and nothing under Qt Versions. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? The following steps were on buster with an earlier version. Attempted to set path to Qt. Checked the internet and installed the qt5-default. This allowed me to select a Qt version. I then was able to create the project. The build failed with a message "Unknown Modules in Qt: Quick". There were lots of other error messages too. Installed additional qml-modules related to quick. No change. reportbug suggested trying a later version before filing the bug, so I ran it on bullseye, leading to this report. In bullseye, in Kits | Qt Versions attempted to use link with Qt using /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin and several other variations; the Link with Qt button never activated. * What was the outcome of this action? Unable to get even a simple project to build. * What outcome did you expect instead? That I would be able to follow the instructions on Qt's site for "build your first Qt project" and they would work. Failing that, at least some guidance about what was necessary to make this thing work on Debian, e.g., a README.Debian file. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers testing-security APT policy: (500, 'testing-security'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/3 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages qtcreator depends on: ii clang-11 1:11.0.1-2 ii libc6 2.31-13 ii libclang1-11 1:11.0.1-2 ii libdw1 0.183-1 ii libelf1 0.183-1 ii libgcc-s1 10.2.1-6 ii libkf5syntaxhighlighting5 5.78.0-2 ii libqt5concurrent5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5core5a [qtbase-abi-5-15-2] 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5designer5 5.15.2-5 ii libqt5designercomponents5 5.15.2-5 ii libqt5gui5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5help5 5.15.2-5 ii libqt5network5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5printsupport5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5qml5 [qtdeclarative-abi-5-15-2] 5.15.2+dfsg-6 ii libqt5quick5 5.15.2+dfsg-6 ii libqt5quickwidgets5 5.15.2+dfsg-6 ii libqt5serialport5 5.15.2-2 ii libqt5sql5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5sql5-sqlite 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5svg5 5.15.2-3 ii libqt5widgets5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5xml5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libstdc++6 10.2.1-6 ii libyaml-cpp0.6 0.6.3-9 ii libzstd1 1.4.8+dfsg-2.1 ii qml-module-qtqml-models2 5.15.2+dfsg-6 ii qml-module-qtquick-controls 5.15.2-2 ii qml-module-qtquick2 5.15.2+dfsg-6 ii qtchooser 66-2 ii qtcreator-data 4.14.1-1 Versions of packages qtcreator recommends: ii clang-tidy 1:11.0-51+nmu5 ii gdb-minimal [gdb] 10.1-1.7 ii konsole [x-terminal-emulator] 4:20.12.3-1 ii make 4.3-4.1 ii qmlscene 5.15.2+dfsg-6 ii qt5-doc 5.15.2-2 ii qt5-qmltooling-plugins 5.15.2+dfsg-6 ii qtbase5-dev-tools 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii qtcreator-doc 4.14.1-1 ii qtdeclarative5-dev-tools 5.15.2+dfsg-6 ii qttools5-dev-tools 5.15.2-5 ii qttranslations5-l10n 5.15.2-2 ii qtxmlpatterns5-dev-tools 5.15.2-3 ii termit [x-terminal-emulator] 3.1-1 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 366-1 Versions of packages qtcreator suggests: ii clazy 1.9-3 ii cmake 3.18.4-2 ii g++ 4:10.2.1-1 ii git 1:2.30.2-1 ii meson 0.56.2-1 ii subversion 1.14.1-3 pn valgrind <none> -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---Hi Ross! There is a normal misunderstanding with respect to Qt Creator: installing it does not warrant you have the necessary Qt development files. This is because Qt Creator does not necessarily have to be used to code Qt stuff, in fact I use it for coding microcontrollers. So no, it will not "work out the box" in the way you expected.

The -dev packages are mostly named after the Qt submodules it was built from. So the core of the QML stuff is installed by qtdeclarative5-dev Maybe the qtquickcontrols2-5-dev package needs a dependency on qtdeclarative5-dev. But all it does is adding controls to QML. > My guess is that all but #4 are necessary. #5 is specific to Qt Quick; the > others are not. Depends a lot on what you are doing. If you need to use the serial port you would need to install libqt5serialport5-dev. Tip: using aptitude you can look for all the -dev packages by issuing: aptitude search qt | grep 5 | grep -dev There is surely a better/apt-only way of doing this, but that's the thing I normally use :-) By the way: we removed qt5-default package from bullseye. That package should have never existed. So what you found are not bugs but indeed the intended way to use these packages. I'm so closing this bug. Cheers, Lisandro.
