package: plasma-mobile
version: 5.27.6-1
severity: important

I have just installed plasma-mobile on debian trixie (mobian) on librem 5 but it did not install plasma-dialer, I think this should be in depends as otherwise we have to use gnome calls
 which does not integrate well with plasma mobile for incoming calls on lockscreen and also in unlocked state (we have to manually select calls window to answer)

gnome calls issue #599 (no paste option in geary under plasma mobile)

when manually installing plasma-dialer and starting, it fails with error The name org.kde.telephony.CallUtils was not provided by any .service files

Thanks for the explanation, makes sense. I was not thinking about the
tablet use case.

Thanks for this.

yes installed via apt.

It seems to be fixed now and I can make calls with plasma dialer now,
lso incoming calls are also handled via plasma dialer now.
