Kate crashes when clicking Open

[Ervin Hegedüs]

I've installed "kate" to my Linux Mint 17.1 (Rebecca) from official repository.
When I start the Kate, and click Open, Kate crashes always. That could be reproduced on several systems of Linux Mint 17.1.

If I start Kate from terminal, I can see the problem:

"Could not find 'klauncher' executable."

I've installed 'kdelibs5-plugins' package (which has some more package dependency), and problem has solved.

Hi
Can you reproduce the issue on plain Kubuntu? This seems like a unlikely scenario since kate depends on kde-runtime which in turn depends on kdelibs5-plugins which has the klauncher executable. If you can't reproduce this on plain Kubuntu, then it's a Mint issue.

Sorry, I'm not using anywhere Kubuntu nor KDE.
I think't this is only a "Mint-bug" - so I've used Ubuntu previously (I just installed Mint a few days...), but there weren't this bug.

Thanks:
