Wrong install path for kio_kamera.so and kcm_kamera.so => "The shared Library was not found"

[Tom Fields]

Hi,

in similar fashion than for the systemd kcm module:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-config-systemd/+bug/1451295

the kcm_kamera.so

and also the kio_kamera.so

are installed in:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/, while the system expects them in:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/

Workaround is:
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/kcm_kamera.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/kcm_kamera.so
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/kio_kamera.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/kio_kamera.so

but this should be fixed in the packages.

This is maybe a similar issue as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kamera/+bug/1556540, however I do not have any kubuntu-ppa activated.

Btw. the GUI error message is not very helpful, because it does say that "a" shared library is missing, but not "which" file is missing.

For completeness: I forgot the version information:
Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus
Package: kamera
Architecture: amd64
Version: 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I also have the same problem. The two symbolic links workaround worked for me.
