octopi is broken

When I try to launch octopi in a terminal I get the following error message:

Code: [Select]
Aborting octopi as 'checkupdates' binary could not be found! [ "/usr/bin/checkupdates" ]

On the Manjaro forum they mention that it is solved by installing the pacman-contrib package.

I understand that it would be convenient to add it with octopi dependency.

Best regards.

I will add that it doesn't even start for me with QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2 set in my /etc/environment.

I see this: http://0x0.st/H7RJ.png

As I see, it's still qt5. It was working before. Now it fails for some reason.

QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE instead of QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME

Well, the same error and octopi doesn't start. Anyway, I'm not even using it. Just came by noticing it because it worked before.

UPDATE: Had to install qt5-styleplugins package. Never mind.

May or may not work any longer, I bumped octopi to be qt6 built.

Yeah, now I see it in the PKGBUILD that it's changed. Now tell me please what is QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE and QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME and what are the possible options? Seems that I cannot google anything relevant. As I understand, QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME can be used only by qt5-styleplugins, right?

No, they are universal for any qt version. The override is about the qt style plugin, and (at least for now?) the new kde libs respond mostly to that, whereas platformtheme is supposed(?) to be the standard for anything on a level closer to the surface.
Tl;dr it's just something you can try messing with.

However, this is not about any kde libs but about a uniform app appearance.

RTFM:
