Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***

* Since Upgrading from Bookworm to Trixie, ghostwriter is not showing
any icons - not on the buttons of the GUI nor in the menue.

* Ghostwriter running on Bookworm did not have this issue



*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***

Hi there

Just found out tat there seems to be a dependency issue. All QT / KDE
apps had missing icons in fact.
Using XFCE, I thought that it might an issue of the theme somehow but:

After executing 'by chance':

sudo apt install qt6-svg-plugins

all is fine now.


Hope that is helping you to set the correct dependencies


Kind regards

Simon

Hi Simon,

Yes, "qt6-svg-plugins" is needed for those icons. However, I'm afraid
there isn't much more we can do dependency wise without causing other
problems.

Ideally, we would like qt6-svg-plugins to be a dependency of libqt6gui6,
but qt6-svg-plugins in itself already depends on libqt6gui6. By adding
that dependency as you suggest it would create a circular dependency
which we want to avoid.
Therefore, qt6-svg-plugins is recommended by libqt6gui6, i.e. it should
be installed by default. Since it wasn't installed for you, are you
maybe not installing recommended packages by default ?
