You shouldn't have any Qt files in /usr/lib at all. Since it's multiarch, you should have a symlink in the subfolder for your arch, such as
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5
which is a symlink to
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5.10
which in turn is a symlink to
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5.10.1

Re: Missing libqt5core.so.5
Both /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5 and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5.10 are set as symlinks to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5.10.1
Should I change ...5 to point to 5.10?

Re: Missing libqt5core.so.5
I backed things up, tried repointing these symlinks and then switched them back as it made no difference. Anybody have any other suggestions?

Re: Missing libqt5core.so.5
If it's a systemic problem, you wouldn't be able to run any Qt 5 apps at all...such as VLC. Is that the case?

Re: Missing libqt5core.so.5
I have exactly the same issue. I installed sid years ago and did not perform any manual changes except occasional apt upgrades. Suddenly, all qt applications fail to run.
Has anyone found a workaround or reason?

Re: Missing libqt5core.so.5
It may not be the same issue. OP is running testing and you are running unstable. Unstable recently transitioned to Qt 5.11 whereas testing still has 5.10 currently. The transition took quite a few days so if you did an upgrade in those few days you may have broken it.Duxon wrote:I have exactly the same issue.

I'm running Plasma 5 so if Qt was broken here I would have no desktop. I held off on upgrades till transition was completed and now have Qt 5.11 running with no issues.

Re: Missing libqt5core.so.5
You are right. Qt 5.11 is installed on my machine. Symptoms are the same, though.
