#1134 Broken install in Kubuntu 21.04 via Discover

[snorlax212]

Hello. In Kubuntu 21.04 after installation Code::blocks via 'Discover' nothing happens when i try to launch 'Application launcher -> Development -> Code::Blocks IDE'. Field 'Properties for codeblocks.desktop -> Application -> Command' is 'codeblocks %F'. If I type 'codeblocks' in konsole it says:
Command 'codeblocks' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install codeblocks

Installing via apt works though.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run 'Discover -> Code::Blocks IDE -> Install'
2. Run 'Application launcher -> Development -> Code::Blocks IDE'

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens, no error, just some system chords sound which tells nothing to me.

EXPECTED RESULT
Starting program.

Code::blocks version: 20.03-3

Same problem on Kubuntu 20.04.3 LTS. It popups window additionally:

What is Discover? We (cb devs) don't know about it, neither we ship packages for it.

[snorlax212]

It's an application explorer/package manager in KDE.


I reported to kde.bugs.org but it's not their service. I don't know where to report then.

I just tested this in a fresh kubuntu VM and i got the same error when i install only codeblocks.
but when i also install the addons (link above the reviews) i can start it...

Also, if i install it via discovery (without addons) and then type in the console

apt get install codeblocks

i get a lot missing packages:

testuser@testuser-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt install codeblocks

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] 

if i install the package, codeblocks starts normally

So it seems that the package discovery tries to install is not complete?
I do not know enough about linux packages to make a conclusion
I do not know what packages discovery uses, or what install method, but for me it looks like a packaging problem for discovery....

If i install it with muon every thing works as expected....
So somehow discovery uses different packages?
