Package: calamares-settings-debian Version: 14.0.2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I am writing to report a missing dependency issue in calamares-settings-debian that causes the show.qml slideshow to not display during the installation phase. I initially discovered this bug while repackaging calamares-settings-debian for our custom debian-based distribution. Since our DE is GNOME, we explicitly excluded systemsettings (which is pulled as a recommendation by calamares). Without systemsettings installed, the slideshow fails to render. To verify if this was an upstream issue, I tested the official Debian 13 GNOME live session ISO. Since live-task-gnome does not install systemsettings, the exact same issue occurs there: the installation proceeds, but show.qml is completely missing from the UI. The Fix: I investigated further and found that the issue is caused by a missing QML module. By manually installing the qml6-module-qtquick-window package, show.qml works flawlessly. It appears that this QML module is currently being pulled in coincidentally as a dependency of systemsettings (or other KDE/Qt packages). On non-KDE environments like GNOME, this dependency is missing. Suggestion: Could qml6-module-qtquick-window be added as an explicit Depends (or at least a strong Recommends) for calamares-settings-debian (or the main calamares package, depending on where it fits best)? Thank you for your time and for maintaining this package! Best regards, Lucky Mahendra Purba
