    I have just upgraded to version 19.04 of Ubuntu and I have just updated Qt to version 5.12.3

    Compiling and deploying is going well but when I try to launch the application, I get the error message:

    /opt/WinStars3/./WinStars3: relocation error: /opt/WinStars3/./lib/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5: symbol _ZN22QWindowSystemInterface17handleScreenAddedEP15QPlatformScreenb version Qt_5_PRIVATE_API not defined in file libQt5Gui.so.5 with link time reference
    

    The result of ldd :

    Everything worked well with Ubuntu 18.10 and Qt 5.12.2
    
    What's going on?
    
    With my thanks,

      Exactly the same issue here...
      Ubuntu 19.04 + Qt 5.12.3 ...

      Any solutions?

      Cheers

        The solution might be:

        • just use the default QT 5.12.2 from the repository

        • Or rebuilt the system from scratch, which seems to be appealing...
