MultiMC
[Linux] Missing "libqt5xml5" dependency in the installation tutorial.
Operating System
No response
Description of bug
The installation page states that for Ubuntu/Debian, MultiMC requires the following packages to be installed:
- libqt5core5a
- libqt5network5
- libqt5gui5
However, MultiMC will also refuse to start if libqt5xml5 is not installed:
user@LAPTOP:~/Documents/games/MultiMC$ ./MultiMC
Launcher Dir: /home/user/Documents/games/MultiMC
No missing dependencies found.
/home/user/Documents/games/MultiMC/MultiMC: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Xml.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
After installing it, MultiMC works.
This dependency should be added to the installation page, in the "Download & Install" category.
Steps to reproduce
- Go to https://multimc.org/
- Scroll down to "Download & Install"
- Notice that libqt5xml5 is not listed in the Debian/Ubuntu dependencies
Suspected cause

This issue is unique
- [X] I have searched the issue tracker and did not find an issue describing my bug.
Running dpkg -I on the .deb shows dependencies on libqt5xml5. So installing with sudo dpkg -i multimc_1.6-1.deb and running sudo apt -f install should resolve the missing dependencies.
$ dpkg -I multimc_1.6-1.deb
new Debian package, version 2.0.

feel free to do a PR for it https://github.com/MultiMC/Website/blob/master/site/themes/multimc/layouts/index.html#L61
In Fedora 36, I had to install qt5-qtbase and qt5-qtbase-devel for it to work.
Otherwise I was getting: No such file: libqt5xml5 and libQt5Widgets.so.5
