Describe the problem, feature or ask a question:

regarding the Arch Linux package for back in time, when I start it from the shell, I am seeing these warnings printed, and I'm wondering if I'm missing a dependency in the PKGBUILD. I checked the dependency tree here, but I don't know that I'm missing anything.

Hello Graysky,
thank you for reporting.

I am not sure. I am assuming some of the xdg-desktop-portal-* packages are missing. But these are not a direct dependency of BIT. Something might be missing or being corrupt in the Qt installation.

I am not aware of a modification in the near past that could affect such an error.

Regards,
Christian

OK, just wanted to make sure I have the PKGBUILD correct. These do not affect functionality.
