Description stu2731652 2016-10-05 02:56:57 UTC

Qt5 Frontend of input method like Fcitx or hime can not be installed because they require qtbase-abi-5-5-1. qtbase-api-5-5-1 is a virtual package provide by libqt5core5a, but it can't be provided by current version . Without Qt5 Frontend, we can't type Chinese under Qt5 Apps.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # apt-get install fcitx-frontend-qt5 hime-qt5-immodule
2. # apt-get install qtbase-abi-5-5-1 
3.

Actual Results:  
It will tell us that our libqt5core5a is too new for qtbase-abi-5-5-1.

Expected Results:  
Maybe we should have a new fcitx-frontend-qt5 package instead.

needs archive rebuilder added to our build system to rebuild some of these packages, work in progress..

I can confirm this is an issue in latest KDE Neon packages. I cannot input any CJK language in Qt5 apps due to this. I can in Chrome that is not Qt app. Below the output of apt-get:


sudo apt-get install fcitx-frontend-qt5

Is this issue still relevant for the 18.04.1-based Neon?

I think this thread can be closed because this issue is resolved in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461620

Comment 7 Carlos De Maine 2025-09-20 09:35:28 UTC

Thank you for your bug report! 
However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since  before 01/01/2025. 
Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's.
Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!
