Calibre 4.0 - qt.qpa.pluginCould not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even tho

[PaceyIV]

I've just upgrade calibre to 4.0 on my Debian 10 and I can't run it anymore.
When I start it from a SSH shell with X11 forwarding I've get the error:

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.

Annullato

How can I do to continue to use it?

Maybe this can help you to detect the problem.

I fix the error installing libxkbcommon-x11-0.
It is a missing dependency?

$ sudo apt install libxkbcommon-x11-0

.

calibre does not come bundled with X11 libraries. Those have to be present on the system along with some other basic libraries such as C and C++ runtimes, freetype, fontconfig, etc.
