#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.

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?
