Hi, I ended to similar problems with QML only example in the SDK .
Compiler claimed about missing libsailfishapp-launcher in my Jolla C.
Thanks pkcon refresh hint in this discussion I could proceed!

Yes it could do that too but that would involve a more sophisticated
UI - the list of packages that are actually getting installed has to
be presented to the user, total size, localization and so on. I agree
that it would be nice (can't think of any reason not to do it), it's
just not high on the priority list I guess.

Ok, so you are also saying that the "tap-on-RPM-to-install" mechanism
in Sailfish OS could do it too but it's Jolla's choice not to?
Is that for security reasons? Since the user has accepted the risks
by ticking "untrusted sources", could the behaviour be changed?

Basically, I was trying to say that if Jolla Store client can do it and
command line pkcon can do it (i.e. automatically install dependencies)
then Warehouse can do it too. If Warehouse doesn't do it, it's the
choice made by the creator of the app. I pulled the sources and haven't
found anything there about the dependencies.
One thing that I learned today: The PackageKit currently used by
Sailfish OS (version 0.8.something + a few patches) has D-Bus method
called GetDepends. However the smart upstream guys have renamed it into
DependsOn:
https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/commit/e590ed91
(backward compatibility? what's that? never heard of it!) meaning that
Warehouse should try both methods to make sure that it works with future
versions of PackageKit. Right now it doesn't seem to do anything.
Cheers,
