Description Bastien Nocera 2022-04-07 09:03:57 UTC 
A lot of applications on Flathub use the KDE 5.15 runtime to avoid having to build their own version of Qt 5.x. Unfortunately, the 5.15 runtime was deemed obsolete:
https://github.com/KDE/flatpak-kde-runtime/commit/1d5ed66ae8338d93d48a9485f103b9e0f5fe9b64
without a viable Qt5 replacement for all those applications that still use Qt5.

I ran into this for FlashPrint (proprietary):
https://github.com/flathub/com.flashforge.FlashPrint/issues/22
and GBE+

Either adding the Qt5 to the runtime (although the 5.15 LTS support cycle is due to end in 2023), or to the Flathub shared-modules (https://github.com/flathub/shared-modules/) would be good work-arounds.
