Dear Maintainer,

linphone-desktop currently recommends qt5-gtk2-platformtheme, which is
deprecated and has no upstream activity since 2017 [1]. Also, it depends on
GTK 2 which reached its end of life in 2020 [2].

Please use qt5-gtk-platformtheme instead (without `2`). Although, there is no
need to recommend it explicitly, since libqt5gui5t64 recommends it anyway.

I am going to file an RM bug for src:qtstyleplugins-src soon.

[1]: https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtstyleplugins.git
[2]: https://blog.gtk.org/2020/12/16/gtk-4-0/

It  is a violation of Debian Policy § 2.2.1 for a package in main to
recommend a package that is not in main; therefore, I am raising the
severity of this issue.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha

Just realised I can't install Linphone on Trixie (only use it when I'm
travelling), I'm starting to read up on this. The readme for the current
release expressly says it depends on QT6.
https://gitlab.linphone.org/BC/public/linphone-desktop/-/blob/master/README.md

Will that solve the problem if / when it percolates into Sid?

I'll do a fresh install on a dev drive and have a tinker next free weekend.

Thanks for the work everyone.


Best G
