--- Comment #4 from Bzzz <b...@gmx.net> ---
Maybe this sounds rude, but I reported this problem via the applications' own
bug report functionality. I, the end user, shouldn't have to care how KDE is
packaged and included in my distro as long as it is not marked as highly
experimental or the like (which it isn't, as I said, it's a LTS version). Why
should I google where to place the same bug report again, but this time in an
ubuntu-ish bug tracker? I don't know the place, I don't know the guy, and there
aren't thousands of major distros out there that ship KDE5, so the maintainer
here probably already knows whom to adress. 
Furthermore, if this is really sort of official KDE bug reporting policy, I
have to open another bug to address the non-helping error message. Yes, "Could
not find the 'kio_kamera' plugin" kinda says what is missing, but how to I get
that plugin? Is it a separate package? Do I have to download it somewhere and
install within dolphin, circumventing the package manager? Is this some
build-time option and I need to replace my entire dolphin installation? I don't
know. It doesn't say. I don't even know how to check if this plugin is already
installed but misconfigured, placed in the wrong spot or has the wrong file
permissions. This is highly annoying for me as a long-term KDE user with
technical background, but for a newbie this is beyond comprehension -> KDE
sucks -> Linux sucks -> hey, let's buy a Mac. Seriously, KDE proliferates into
several hundreds of packages, the dependencies beyond that are multitudinous
for non-developers, and as I said, the only packages that match the missing
thing are already installed. What more can you expect from the average end
user? Please fix AND add additional information to the error messages. If
Ubuntu ships with some important bits missing, add build dependencies and kick
their arse. Even if they do it wrong, it's still a KDE component that's not
working properly.
