Description compilebunny 2024-09-26 18:47:13 UTC 
SUMMARY

Plasma mobile requires maliit-keyboard to provide a screen keyboard. Since this is a mobile device interface, the screen keyboard is incredibly important. When run, maliit-keyboard produces an error regarding the QtQuickControls library.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. run maliit-keyboard from a console within plasma mobile
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT

Error: module "QtQuick.Controls" is not installed.
import QtQuick.Controls 2.4
^

apt list --installed | grep qml6 | grep quick-control shows that qml6-module-qtquick-controls is installed. However, the description of this module is "dummy transitional". 

A package named libqt6qml6quickcontrols2impl6 exists but cannot be installed. It requires libqt6qml6 (>= 6.2.0) but apt does not recognize 6.7.2-0zneon+24.04.... as meeting this requirement.

EXPECTED RESULT

maliit-keyboard displays the screen keyboard

This bug report was based on maliit-keyboard 2.3.1+p24.04+vrelease+git20240926.052-1
from the NEON CI repo.

I installed the 20240927 version via apt update when it appeared and it seems to have fixed the problem.

just for completeness, maliit-keyboard is still qt5.  it was indeed missing a number of qml-module-qtquick-* runtime deps.  this and a few other things have been fixed and the plugins such as auto-suggest are working correctly now too
