KDE madness again



Long time ago I stopped using KDE, because they started going insane.

Two days ago upgraded to Buster and now wanted to check if all works fine.

One of the things I need to use is qdbusviewer - unfortunately there is no
acceptable alternative. Now I spend already one hour because of the
stupidity and madness of the way KDE decided to do configuration

$ qdbusviewer
qdbusviewer: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qdbusviewer':
No such file or directory

Not the only one - I tried this
https://askubuntu.com/questions/435564/qt5-installation-and-path-configuration

# cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtchooser/
# ls -al
total 132
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   4096 Nov  3 08:28 .
drwxr-xr-x 101 root root 126976 Nov  3 08:28 ..

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     50 May  3  2019
qt5.conf -> ../../../share/qtchooser/qt5-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf

# ln -s qt5.conf default.conf 

$ qdbusviewer
qdbusviewer: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbusviewer': No such file or
directory

# ls -al /usr/lib/qt5/bin/
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/qt5/bin/': No such file or directory

I am sorry to say it, but to me it looks like KDE is playing dumb and
dumber. I wonder which is worse systemd or KDE - they seem to share common
concepts in doing things

How I solved it?

Install qt from scratch and put it in my path - relieve!

If someone has a better solution let me know.
