[SOLVED] Cannot mix incompatible Qt library

Hello,

I fully upgraded my system yesterday and now I'm experiencing problems with several applications like VLC, Dolphin and Falkon Browser. When I start them via the commandline, I get:

Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (5.15.2) with this library (5.15.3)

Full output:

First I thought this was some mistake from me by tinkering, but I found a recent bug with the same error but for a different case ( https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/74104 ) and also several recent posts with this message, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … y_version/ and https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/ … 781.0.html

Currently I'm testing awesome wm (which is still working), but when I tried to start plasma again, it's only showing a blackscreen with the mousecursor.

So my question is, if someone else is experiencing similar problems. If not, I would look deeper into my system, but at the time is looks more like a general problem to me.

Regards,
Markus

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

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot mix incompatible Qt library

Hi Slithery,

yes, this did indeed help. I wasn't aware, that an AUR-package can have this kind of impact on non-AUR-applications.

For the record, the solution was to cleanbuild qt5-styleplugins from AUR:

$ yay -S qt5-styleplugins
:: Checking for conflicts...
:: Checking for inner conflicts...
[Aur:1]  qt5-styleplugins-5.0.0.20170311-26

  1 qt5-styleplugins                 (Installed) (Build Files Exist)
==> Packages to cleanBuild?
==> [N]one [A]ll [Ab]ort [I]nstalled [No]tInstalled or (1 2 3, 1-3, ^4)
(...)

Choose "A" for All.

Thank you very much, you guys are awesome.

Regards,
Markus

PS: Somehow I can't change the subject to "Solved". Maybe you can do this.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot mix incompatible Qt library

There is a character limit in topic titles. I suggest removing everything after "Cannot mix incompatible Qt library" to make space.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot mix incompatible Qt library

I had a similar problem, but all the solutions here did not work for me. It was solved when I reinstalled PyQt5:

sudo pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall pyqt5

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot mix incompatible Qt library

Don't mix and match pip installed pyqt5 releases and pacman packages. Install python-pyqt5 from the repos if you need this fixed for actual packages.

Closing this old thread.


How to post. A sincere effort to use modest and proper language and grammar is a sign of respect toward the community.
