Description pshafer 2025-04-09 16:39:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
The `paraview` package in the EPEL8 repo has an undeclared dependency on the package `qt5-qttools-libs-help`. Paraview fails to launch and emits an error message "paraview: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Help.so.5".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
paraview 5.9.1-2.el8


How reproducible:
Reproduced on at least two machines running RHEL8 (kernel 4.18.0-553.34.1.el8_10).


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install paraview ($ dnf install paraview)
2. Run paraview ($ paraview)

Actual results:
Paraview fails to launch and emits an error message "paraview: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Help.so.5".


Expected results:
Paraview Qt main window should be displayed.


Additional info:
Subsequently installing `qt5-qttools-libs-help` resolved the issue.
$ dnf install qt5-qttools-libs-help

Dependency `qt5-qttools-libs-help` does not appear to be declared in the source SPEC file for paraview.
