Bug#873369: libqt5core5a: System-wide /etc/xdg/QtProject/qtlogging.ini disables debug messages

[John Salatas <jsalatas@gmail.com>]

Package: libqt5core5a
Version: 5.9.1+dfsg-9
Severity: normal

Hi!

The /etc/xdg/QtProject/qtlogging.ini file, installed by libqt5core5a in debian
unstable, seems that disables the output of debug messages causing issues in
testing suites of some applications to fail.

I stumbled upon this issue while trying to compile qtpim
(http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtpim.git/) which includes tests that rely on
verifying debug messages. As an example see test testDebugStreamOut() in file
tst_qcontactfilter.cpp, lines 1318-1325
(http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtpim.git/tree/tests/auto/contacts/qcontactfilter/tst_qcontactfilter.cpp),
which fails in debian unstable.

Deleting the /etc/xdg/QtProject/qtlogging.ini file, or replacing it with the
attached, solves the issue.

Thanks!

John Salatas
