Please install libqt5xcbqpa5 to let it run again.
I suspect you installed wireshark/libqt5gui5 with --no-install-recommends, since libqt5gui5 recommends libqt5xcbqpa5: Package: libqt5gui5 Source: qtbase-opensource-src Version: 5.5.1+dfsg-12 Installed-Size: 7096 Maintainer: Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers <debian-qt-kde@lists.debian.org> Architecture: amd64 ... Recommends: libqt5svg5, libqt5xcbqpa5 --no-install-recommends may cause parts of functionality not available in packages. It that was the case, please close the bug since the default behavior of installing all needed packages for proper operation was overridden. BTW this looks like the following Qt bug appearing again which I just reopened: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796956 KDE Mainainers may mark it as wontfix or solve the circular dependency introduced by the fix in a different way.
