[SOLVED] looking for qdbus for use in conky script...

I have the following code in my conky configuration (this was working on Fedora 31)

conky.text = [[
${font Helvetica Bold:pixelsize=20}${color FFFFFF}
${execi 5 qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Lollypop /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Metadata | grep artist | cut -c15-}
${execi 5 qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Lollypop /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Metadata | grep album | cut -b14- | sed 's/tist: Radio//'}
]];

Arch seems not to have qdbus.  Any idea how I can get it?  I looked around and I couldn't find any packages with it.

TIA

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
