5.11.3 is what most packages related to qt5 say.  I started by
requesting (in ./kdesrc-build-setup) to build everything in sight
so I wouldn't have unmet dependencies.  Then I tried just building
"pim".

5.11.3+dfsg-2+ aptitude says.

Ok, I've been doing this, and only building "pim" (in
kdesrc-build-setup)

Good to know that 5.11.3 is new enough.  I'm buildiing only "pim", so
hopefully the QtWebEngine problem is now bypassed.

Thanks for pointing this out.  It seems quite involved so I'll keep it
in reserve if there's no other option.  I would like to use one module
of kde-pim (ktimetracker) that is not in Debian stable as is, but I
would also like to add a feature: have ktimetracker still keep time when
the computer is suspended or hibernated.  A checkbox in some
configuration panel to enable/disable this feature and additional code
to catch the suspend/resume events to add the time that has elapsed during
the suspension/hibernation.

So now I'm building just pim and it's failing at kdoctools:

I presume these are all the kde-pim modules and dependencies.

Debian stable has kdoctools (4.14.38.3) and kdoctools5 (5.54.0-1).  
kdoctools-dev 5.54.0-1 is installed.  There are no other kdoctools*
package installed.

Could this be a case of the build system trying to use kdoctools 4?

Any idea why the build directory doesn't exist?  The scripts seem to
be quite smart at setting up the build environment and actually building
the different modules.

Thank you very much for replying.  Any further ideas as to this latest
stumbling block?  Anyone?

Thanks!
