Re: Removing libqt5quick5-gles as potential GCompris dependency



Hi!

Not the GCompris maintainer here, but one of Qt's ones.

Maybe GCompris is using Desktop OpenGL calls without using them from Qt? This is a totally valid use case, but one we can't automatically detect.

If this is the case:
- Yes, we can fix it by letting GCompris conflict with the GLES-enabled Qt.
- Please do add this information to your README. With Qt 6 this is a situation that (if someone steps up to provide the packages) will be even trickier to detect. Having it on the README would at least make the situation clear.

And thanks **a lot** for filing the bug. I'll prepare a merge request for the package maintainer to check.
