Description gn.prp.gabriel 2017-03-27 01:08:20 UTC

Recentely i installed Okular in Ubuntu 16.04 via snap using

"sudo snap install okular"

But when I try to open Okular through the icon in the menu nothing happens, so I try in the terminal and I get this message:

"okular: error while loading shared libraries: libKF5Parts.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I already installed libKF5Parts5 through

"sudo apt install libkf5parts5"

But nothing happened.

Thanks for the attention, and sorry for the not so good English.

snapd (the daemon managing snaps) currently doesn't properly manage dependencies of shared content snaps which results in that error as the okular snap depend on the kde-frameworks-5 snap.

This should fix it:

sudo snap remove okular
sudo snap install kde-frameworks-5
sudo snap install okular

I am going to try adding a more useful error to our snap loader.
