SUMMARY

I tried to install ROS Noetic on a fresh install of KDE Neon based on Ubuntu
20.04. After trying to resolve unmet dependencies, I find that the package
libpyside2-py3-5.14 fails because it depends on two virtual packages that I
cannot find: qtbase-abi-5-12-8 and qtdeclarative-abi-5-12-8.

According to Ubuntu's package details [1, 2], libqt5qml5 and libqt5core5a
should provide those virtual packages, and those two are installed from KDE
Neon repository. I know that KDE Neon is not Ubuntu, but this would allow to
install ROS.

Using the instructions found in [3] to create two dummy packages called
qtbase-abi-5-12-8 and qtdeclarative-abi-5-12-8 solved the issue for now.

[2] https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/qtdeclarative-abi-5-12-8

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a fresh version of KDE Neon
2. Run 'pkcon install libpyside2-py3-5.14'

OBSERVED RESULT

Installation fails due to unmet dependencies

EXPECTED RESULT

Installation is successful
