Bug Description

It's all in the title.
Since a few days I cannot run KDE Window Manager as it requires a library I don't have.
And don't want to.
I expect that any upgrade will either pull the required dependencies or warn about a new package to be installed.
None of the two happened.

Hi
That file comes from the libegl1-mesa-drivers, which the kde-window-manager correctly depends on. Can you make sure that you have that package installed?

It is impossible for KWin to work without this package since we build KWin with wayland and EGL support.

I don't understand.
I never installed (nor uninstalled) any wayland-related or any egl-related package.
If I did, they were pulled in by some other package as a dependency.
If an update to kde-window-manager required any of those libraries, why weren't they in the dependencies?
