Krita error while loading shared libraries

04 September 2022, 07:53:42

I have been using the krita painting app with artix for more than a year with no issues until recent update to version 5.1
running krita from terminal I see this:
"krita: error while loading shared libraries: libquazip1-qt5.so.1.3.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

looking at /usr/lib/ I see that I have "libquazip1-qt6.so.1.3.0"
Im looking for advice on what I can do to get Krita working. any help is much appreciated.

I have also encountered this issue, and also another unrelated one with waybar. I just used arch's repositories.
For krita requiring libquazip1-qt5.so.1.3.0, I used quazip-qt5 package in [extra] repo.
For waybar I installed the waybar from the [community] repo.

Of course there is also the option of using flatpaks, but that doesn't work for me somehow because GTK can't find the display.

I am not sure why they are having trouble with dependencies now, using paru -Fl world/quazip-qt5 I get

Which is weird because all of them are qt6 not qt5

Thanks for this, I was able to get Krita working by syncing quazip-qt5. It seems that packaged changed between the time of my full system upgrade and reading your reply.

Is there a place to suggest or vote for krita to be included in one of the artix repositories?
