@Morganamilo: Ah, I knew this day was coming. A while back they made dolphin require extra-cmake-modules 5.77, which is currently only available as -git.

While I could (and should, sorry!) set the dependencies to require at least 5.77, the fun doesn't end there. It will then complain about further packages also needing to be at 5.77, which in the end leads us to the situation where you'll have to compile 10-20 packages (in varying quality) just to get this package working.

This is the point where I sort of gave up and went with stable dolphin instead. If anyone has a good solution to this or even want to take over this package, feel free. I'll add as co-maintainer or even just disown this.

EDIT: I took another look at it, the real nightmare seems to be at kdoctools-git, which requires basically a full on -git chain. I've updated the package but wishes anyone brave enough to build it, good luck.

Maybe a dependency is missing?

Hello! Is it make sence to move python, baloo-widgets-git and kio-extras to optional to get rid of python and python2 deps? removed kio-extras and baloo-widgets-git and python completely and renamed kactivities-frameworks to kactivities (or kactivities-git) -- working just fine.

Hello, recently a commit was made disallowing dolphin to be used as root. So I downloaded and undid the commit for myself. I don't know if I'll get in trouble for removing the commit in the aur package too but I guess we'll see :-)

@ flying-sheep,
Thank you so much. I've tried to fix this problem for ever, and your solution by reinstalling "baloo-widgets-git" fixed my problems with the 'never starting dolphin'. Finally.. Thanks!!

i got the same with libKF5Baloo.so.1

$ ldd /usr/bin/dolphin | grep -i baloo.so
libKF5Baloo.so.5 => /usr/lib/libKF5Baloo.so.5 (0x00007f11ec50c000)
libKF5Baloo.so.1 => not found

reinstalling baloo-widgets-git solved it for me

Seconding tajidinabd's question!

when trying to start dolphin i get this error message?

dolphin: error while loading shared libraries: libKF5Baloo.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

what has happened to baloo?
