I just installed keepassxc-full on my wayland system, but when I tried
to launch it, I got the following error:

```sh
diederik@bagend:~$ keepassxc
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

Aborted                    (core dumped) keepassxc
```

A StackOverflow answer pointed to the solution (and Bug #1004361)[1]:
install qtwayland5

After doing exactly that, keepassxc started successfully.

Due to this (more helpful error message), quassel-client now works too :-)

Cheers,
  Diederik

Hello,

libqt5gui5t64 already recommends qtwayland5. There is nothing to fix in
KeepassXC. KeepassXC does not require qtwayland5 to run, but Qt5 on Wayland
does.

Best,
Amr

I'm closing the bug as I can no longer retrieve what exactly happened, so
I can't find out exactly where things broke.
But they were broken when I installed it.
