Bug#725161: libqt5qml-quickcontrols: ApplicationWindow: module "QtQuick.Layouts" is not installed

[Drew Parsons]

Package: libqt5qml-quickcontrols
Version: 5.1.1-1
Severity: normal

Quick.Controls contains ApplicationWindow.

But when trying to use it, an error appears:

file:///usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/QtQuick/Controls/ApplicationWindow.qml:44:1:
module "QtQuick.Layouts" is not installed
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.0


Indeed, under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/QtQuick there really
is no Layouts subfolder.

ApplicationWindow.qml invokes it with "import QtQuick.Layouts 1.0"

You can test it by replacing the Rectangle{ } in main.qml from the
default Qt Quick 2 project with

import QtQuick.Controls 1.0
ApplicationWindow {
id: window
}


Looks like qt5/qml/QtQuick/Layouts might have been missed while
splitting the monolithic source into modules.

Once again I answer my own question!

layouts are provided by qtdeclarative5-quicklayouts-plugin

The nomenclature seems inconsistent, qtdeclarative5-quicklayouts-plugin
on the one hand, libqt5qml-quickcontrols on the other.

qtdeclarative5-quicklayouts-plugin does depend on
libqt5qml-quickcontrols, but in my case, using
Quick.Controls.ApplicationWindow, the dependency goes in the other
direction. I couldn't see anything in
qtdeclarative5-quicklayouts-plugin which depends on Quick.Controls.

That's something I was expecting, specially when packaging a huge beast like
this one. Thanks a lot for that, I'll try to do a proper renaming.

This is also good to know.

Thanks *a lot*.
