Public bug reported: If the system does not have ubuntu-sdk installed, any qdbus command does not work, e.g.
[10:49] [2372] [patola@nexus7 patola]% qdbus qdbus: could not find a Qt installation of '' [10:49] [2373] [patola@nexus7 patola]% qdbus --help qdbus: could not find a Qt installation of '' [10:50] [2374] [patola@nexus7 patola]% qdbus org.freedesktop.DBus qdbus: could not find a Qt installation of '' I am not sure if it is anything specific to qt5-default or its dependencies. I tried to install only qttools5-dev-tools and qt5-default so that it would use qtchooser as qdbus, but it didn't work. I had to install the whole ubuntu-sdk. Tested on a Nexus7 and Chromebook Series 3 with Chrubuntu, both armhf, but I guess this is also valid for the Intel architecture.
