Because this is top post being shown in Google search for problems with
qdbusviewer and they persist also on 18.04 here is the solution:
1. Find an error message. In my case (even after installing default):
qdbusviewer: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbusviewer': No such
file or directory
2. Find in which package is file being reported as missing:
$ apt-file search /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbusviewer
qttools5-dev-tools: /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbusviewer
3. Install found package:
$ sudo apt install qttools5-dev-tools
Voila!

Title:
qdbus and qdbusviewer crash with "No such file or directory"
Status in qt4-x11 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in qtchooser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Release: Ubuntu 13.10 (32-bit)
Package versions:
qtdbus 4:4.8.4+dfsg-0ubuntu18
qtchooser 26-3ubuntu2
Expected behavior:
The `qdbus` program runs, as does the related program `qdbusviewer`.
Actual behavior:
If I run the `qdbus` program, it always crashes:
user@host:~$ qdbus --help
qdbus: could not exec '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qdbus': No such file
or directory
The `qdbus` executable is actually:
user@host:~$ ls --full-time $(which qdbus)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2013-08-07 14:48:40.000000000 +0000 /usr/bin/qdbus
-> qtchooser
Note that `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qdbus` exists and seems to
work if I invoke it directly.
There's a `qdbus-qt5` package in the universe repository. It was not
pulled in as a dependency, but manually installing it fixes the issue.
Therefore it's either a packaging error or a bug in qtchooser.
A similar thing happens if I run `qdbusviewer`:
user@host:~$ qdbusviewer
qdbusviewer: could not exec '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qdbusviewer': No
such file or directory
except that installing `qdbus-qt5` doesn't fix the issue.
