Just curious: Does the online activation of this program survive a version upgrade?
I am asking this because I purchased an offline activation key long time ago for Master PDF Editor 5.6 which became invalid as a new version of Master PDF Editor (5.7) was released so I had to buy it again which was a bit annoying. I guess it is comprehensible that I do not want to buy new keys again and again :)
Yes, I had qt5-declarative installed since that is used by many KDE applications (like okular, spectacle, khelpcenter, dolphin). Thus, KDE Plasma users will probably not have been affected.
@pgoetz: Nope, I guess this is a new dependency brought in by the new version 5.8.46 of masterpdfeditor. The last version worked without qt5-declarative. I suspect 'Added floating pop up panel for comments.' from the last changelog, but I am only guessing ;) Anyway, thanks for the change and keep up the good work!
I wonder if the qt5 packagers modified dependencies, or if this is just a long standing issue that no one had run in to before.
pacman -Qi qt5-declarative

Required By : ki18n kid3-qt qt5-graphicaleffects qt5-location
qt5-quickcontrols2 qt5-wayland qt5-webchannel
I have Krita installed on my system, which depends on ki18n, which then pulls in qt5-declarative. Anyway, I added qt5-declarative as a package dependency.
@nursoda: I guess you already had installed 'qt5-declarative'? What does 'pacman -Qs qt5-declarative' say? If not, If you have /usr/bin/libQt5Qml.so.5 in your system, I'd be interested in what 'pacman -Qo /usr/bin/libQt5Qml.so.5' says which package owns this lib. To be clear: I only suggest to extend the depends-Array in the PKGBUILD by 'qt5-declarative' because the installation of this package fixed the issue for me.
Works fine for me, I just updated. Build 5.8.46, 64-Bit – GCC: 8.3.1, GLIBC: 2.17, Qt: 5.9.5, SANE: 1.0.25
Does not run anymore, at least on my system. Seems to have an unsatisfied dependency: masterpdfeditor5: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Qml.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. This should be solved by installing 'qt5-declarative' which contains this lib. BTW, 5.4.33 runs without problems
@demolitions: Not sure if that behavior is not a bug but intended. The same used to happen with the 5.7 versions already, if you had acquired a license code for offline activation. These license codes appear to be valid for only the version they were purchased for, and become invalid as soon as an update was installed.
@demolitions I of course upgraded to 5.8.20 to test the package, and my license remains fully valid. There must be some other factor involved.
There is an issue with licensing in updating from 5.8.06 to 5.8.20, it seems the license is not valid anymore, while it remains valid for all previous 5.x versions. I already wrote to the official support, we'll see if they recognise it as a bug.
