[SOLVED] How to run qdbusviewer?

[chimak111]

dkb@dkb-kuff:~$ qdbusviewer
qdbusviewer: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbusviewer': No such file or directory

But locate has

dkb@dkb-kuff:~$ locate qdbusviewer
/usr/bin/qdbusviewer
/usr/share/icons/breeze/apps/48/qdbusviewer.svg
/usr/share/icons/breeze-dark/apps/48/qdbusviewer.svg
dkb@dkb-kuff:~$

and which has

dkb@dkb-kuff:~$ which qdbusviewer
/usr/bin/qdbusviewer
dkb@dkb-kuff:~$

So why do I see could not exec '/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbusviewer': No such file or directory?

After running sudo apt install qttools5-dev-tools, it works.

/usr/bin/qdbusviewer is only a symbolic link to qtchooser, which sorts out which version of Qt to run. IIRC you can set an environment variable to swap between qt4 and qt5. This mechanism was set up in the early days of qt5, which was years ago now. I'd have thought that with the qt4 purge in Eoan this kludge could be retired, but maybe some systems still need it.
