SUMMARY

Some linux distributions uses libheif library v1.19 which has received huge changes like disabled automatic colorspace conversion.
Krita in such environments can not open images in .heic files produced by smartphones. 
It just shows blank canvas.

If we replace the library in the system to the older version - it work normally as expected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open .heic image via file dialog
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
New document with empty  canvas

EXPECTED RESULT
New document with image displayed
