Bug Description
Attached is a sample project that uses several QT components. To build this, one needs to install the following packages:
apt-get install libqt5core5a qtconnectivity5-dev qtmultimedia5-dev qt5-default libqt5webkit5-dev qt3d5-dev g++
Then, run qmake. The expected result should be output of a Makefile, Makefile.debug and Makefile.release. However, I get the following error:
unknown modules: webenginewidgets
I do not see any package that provides the web engine widgets component and must conclude that the QT package is missing this.
Therefore am opening this bug and requesting that QT be packaged to include webengine. Or a separate package be provided with this.
This is for 16.04 release which packages Qt 5.5.1. Thanks.

status: | Confirmed → Fix Released |
Unfortunately Qt WebEngine is not available at all in Debian or Ubuntu, because it's largely unsuitable for distribution. This bug therefore won't fix until there is someone willing to spend considerable effort (months at minimum) to package Qt WebEngine to Debian (from which it will get into Ubuntu).
