[needs-packaging] (testing: backports-landing-ppa) kipi-plugins for Plasma 5 missing

[Denis Misiurca]

After a news article about Plasma 5.8 in kubuntu-backports-landing PPA, I decided to install it. It seems to be working on my system (xenial amd64), but 'kipi-plugins' & 'kipi-plugings-common' packages are still missing and only available in KDE4 version from main ubuntu repo [1].

KDE Neon seems to have one, but that is built against qt 5.7, and your backport packages only contain 5.6.

Without this, Spectacle is unable to upload screenshots to external services, and it's inconvenient to upload manually each time.

Is there any way to add them to backports?

libkf5kipi (16.04.3-0ubuntu2~ubuntu16.04~ppa1) is in the landing-ppa

Easy to check if it's installed via command-line in the Terminal:

dpkg-query -l *kipi*

libkf5kipi31.0.0 is only the basic library, to actually do something it requires additional plugins package, which is long time missing since original Xenial release.

For example, KDE Neon's kipi-plugins_5.3.0-0neon+16.04+build11_amd64.deb contains:

Those plugins than will also find usage in Gwenview & Digikam5.

That they should be there is confirmed in comment 2 in
