If using DNF after installing Mageia 6 from latest .iso DVD for example installing https://update.swisssign.com/repo/ the system brakes (can't even open konsole or any KDE/Plasma Application) as qt seems to be broken. If installation is done using netinstall or if installing updates prior to use of DNF everything seems to work as expected and packages of for example above repo are installed and usable. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. install Mageia 6 from latest .iso DVD 2. follow https://update.swisssign.com/repo/manual.html (normal DNF setup to add repository) 3. try to open a konsole or any other plasma application

(In reply to Mike Burgener from comment #0) > If using DNF after installing Mageia 6 from latest .iso DVD Please be more specific. Which exact iso? e.g.: Mageia-6.1-LiveDVD-Plasma-x86_64-DVD.iso or Mageia-6-i586-DVD.iso If not 6.1, then you may have hit an issue with the huge Plasma5 update (which DNF should have handled cleanly, though) > for example > installing https://update.swisssign.com/repo/ the system brakes (can't even > open konsole or any KDE/Plasma Application) as qt seems to be broken. Oh, I didn't know that tool, we don't mention it in our DNF wiki page https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Using_DNF CC'ing Mageia's DNF maintainer and ignatenkobrain.

Mike, I was going to ask you more questions after your reply, but since you didn't reply, yet, I'll add my next question: Can you reoroduce this problem with a fresh install after using the instructions in https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Using_DNF instead of installing the swisssign.com tool?
s/reoroduce/reproduce/ of course ;-)
it seems to happen when installing anything using DNF, however let me test first using 6.1 iso's i assume it is fixed with these.
ok, this testing won't work, as there seem to be only the "Live" iso's around for 6.1?

is lib64qt5gui5 installed ?

And is your system fully updated ? I see in comment 6 that it states "Upgrading…" on some QT packages which seems to point out that your system is not fully updated
Thomas :D see "If installation is done using netinstall or if installing updates prior to use of DNF everything seems to work as expected and packages of for example above repo are installed and usable." so yes it seems, the problem occurs when adding a repo in prior of updating mageia itself. However if so, this should be documented somewhere.
i am testing now what occurs if i do a dnf update prior to dnf install "foreignqtbasedpackage"
Sorry, I read the initial comment too fast... :/ Yeas, we only support fully updated systems, and that has been the case since Mandrake/Mandriva days :) IIRC it should already be documented, but I dont remember right now ... The reason you hit this is that we did the big QT update last spring, and the QT stack most definately dont like mixed packages..
Resolution: (none) => INVALIDStatus: NEW => RESOLVED
perhaps a note on https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Using_DNF to update packages using dnf update before adding new repos and working with them is mandatory would make sense.
my tests confirm, doing "dnf update" prior to installing a package fixes the issue.
