true, so I removed everything KDE/Qt4 and KDE/Qt5 then installed the KDE/Qt5 again - interestingly both qt4/5 is in the same package. $ ls -al /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtchooser/ total 132 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 3 09:44 . drwxr-xr-x 101 root root 126976 Nov 3 09:44 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 May 3 2019 4.conf -> ../../../share/qtchooser/qt4-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 May 3 2019 5.conf -> ../../../share/qtchooser/qt5-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 May 3 2019 qt4.conf -> ../../../share/qtchooser/qt4-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 May 3 2019 qt5.conf -> ../../../share/qtchooser/qt5-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf And the crap is broken $ dpkg -S /usr/share/qtchooser/qt4-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf qtchooser: /usr/share/qtchooser/qt4-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf >> > $ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qdbusviewer >> > >> > Works for me. >> >> you should try starting qdbusviewer not from the full path.

No customizations at this level - cause later you forget and wonder again why something does not work. MY solution was great customization :) use independent and recent Qt5.12 >> A simple proof that after 11 years since they (KDE) promised things will >> work - it is still the same BS. > > I lost faith in KDE back in "KDE4.0 != KDE4" days. yes same - ridiculous and 11y later it is still crap. I tend to think this is a big problem for Free Open Source Software. In the profit driven market, you source inefficiency and stupidity out. But in FOSS there is no way to control ideology and SystemD/KDE expolit the freedom. There is no way to bring them to consciousness. The lack of ability to participate in normal argumentative communication, to make conclusions and correct the own stand point is ridiculous. regards
