Public bug reported:
I have qttols5-dev-tools installed, which provides a qthelpgenerator
implementation. But when I try to run qhelpgenerator (or
qcollectiongenerator) through their usual /usr/bin shims, it errors out:
janke@ubuntu:~/local/repos/octave-addons-chrono/doc$ dpkg -S
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qhelpgenerator
qttools5-dev-tools: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qhelpgenerator
janke@ubuntu:~/local/repos/octave-addons-chrono/doc$ ls -l
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qhelpgenerator

janke@ubuntu:~/local/repos/octave-addons-chrono/doc$ which qhelpgenerator
/usr/bin/qhelpgenerator
janke@ubuntu:~/local/repos/octave-addons-chrono/doc$ ls -l
/usr/bin/qhelpgenerator
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 21 2017 /usr/bin/qhelpgenerator -> qtchooser
janke@ubuntu:~/local/repos/octave-addons-chrono/doc$ qhelpgenerator -v
qhelpgenerator: could not find a Qt installation of ''
janke@ubuntu:~/local/repos/octave-addons-chrono/doc$ qcollectiongenerator -v
qcollectiongenerator: could not find a Qt installation of ''
janke@ubuntu:~/local/repos/octave-addons-chrono/doc$
Running them directly works:
janke@ubuntu:~/local/repos/octave-addons-chrono/doc$
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qhelpgenerator -v
Qt Help Generator version 1.0 (Qt 5.9.5)
janke@ubuntu:~/local/repos/octave-addons-chrono/doc$
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qcollectiongenerator -v
Qt Collection Generator version 1.0 (Qt 5.9.5)
But most software will locate the /usr/bin shims instead of this actual binary.
Looks like a problem with qtchooser?
