can't install from ppa on Trusty

[axfelix]

cites missing libqt5core5 package; not available in other suggested SDK PPA. libqt5core5a is installed and apt seems to think it replaces libqt5core5.

There's a new version in the PPA that should fix this.

It looks like trusty renamed libqt5core5 to libqt5core5a (and I think we can all agree that this is a significant improvement) sometime after I published the previous version. Therefore, it still had the old name. I've pushed a new version that's completely identical, but this time it was build against the new name, so it should install.

Thanks! It installed now, but when trying to launch, I get:

qmlscene: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmlscene': No such file or directory

For the record, I didn't have qmlscene installed previously, and I tried installing it after this, but it gets put in /usr/bin and Beru doesn't seem to be able to find it there (if it fact it's a necessary dep).

Hrm ... Do you have Qt4 installed, by chance? Apparently Qt makes the same binaries do double duty, instead of providing a qmlscene4 and qmlscene5. I'm guessing Qt4 is your default, so it's looking for that version of qmlscene.

Can you try editing /usr/share/beru/beru and prefix the last line with "QT_SELECT=5 "? That is, the whole file should be:

!/bin/bash

DIR="$( dirname $( readlink -f "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" ) )" QT_SELECT=5 qmlscene -I "$DIR" "$DIR/ui/main.qml" --appargs="$*"

Please let me know if that works. If not, there's a few other things to try.

[axfelix]

That worked! I get the following output when running from terminal, but you're probably aware of it already:

WARNING: This project is using the experimental QML API extensions for QtWebKit and is therefore tied to a specific QtWebKit release. WARNING: The experimental API will change from version to version, or even be removed. You have been warned!

Good to hear! I'll try to push out a new version in a day or two with this and some other fixes that have piled up.

There are a lot of warning messages, I know. QML likes to spit out so many that are so vague that I've taken to ignoring them all. That's probably not a good idea in the end, but so far so good.
