I know its not necessarily arch spirit, but i'd recommend to make the qml dependencies required. For the sake of user experience. Its just about 3mb disk space. Most users wont care, those that would use rofi/dmenu anyway.

I would like to note that if the user runs the app for the first time (without configuration), the QML Box Model is loaded by default (which makes optional dependencies mandatory), and you cannot start the app due to errors.

Two workarounds, that I don't like:

  1. Install optional dependencies for qml widget box plugin

  2. Or manually add this to ~/.config/albert.conf

package has been updated, build has been tested in clear chroot. Optional dependencies also have been updated to reflect current plugins dependencies

stasadev commented on 2023-08-17 08:32 (UTC)

Two dependencies are missing.

qt6-5compat for this:

Failed loading QML component
qrc:/DefaultStyle.qml:3 module "Qt5Compat.GraphicalEffects" is not installed

qt6-shadertools for this:

Failed loading QML component
qrc:/DefaultStyle.qml:16 Type DropShadow unavailable
qrc:/qt-project.org/imports/Qt5Compat/GraphicalEffects/DropShadow.qml:6 Cannot load library /usr/lib/qt6/qml/Qt5Compat/GraphicalEffects/private/libqtgraphicaleffectsprivateplugin.so: (libQt6ShaderTools.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

Looks like a submodule issue. Please be patient I'll fix this later.

I made a manual change to pkgbuild, it compiled and installed, but now albert terminates w/ "Failed to move the usage database to data location".
