Cherry-picked update for foliate missing rundeps.
Updated and everything is still smooth sailing!

alfisya Can you please try to install those and see if it launches?
Only one rundep was missing. Here's what the eopkg command looked like.
I thought it might be a GNOME vs. KDE issue, so I checked it on my Xfce laptop as well. I remember when I installed it on the Plasma machine, three packages were instaled. On Xfce, only one was. But the result was the same - i.e., installed in the menu, but unable to launch. I'm going to try adding those two packages now, and see if that cures it on Xfce as well. (I need to end this here, and edit it on the other laptop after I try this there.)
On the Xfce machine now. Here's what the eopkg command looked like here.
Even though the theme for this laptop is set to Qogir-Dark, it's obviously not paying any attention to that. But that's the subject of another bug report that I filed. It appears I can't do anything about it.
Harvey Cherry-picked update for foliate missing rundeps.
Sorry I missed seeing this. I just got back from dinner with some visiting family guests. I saw @alfisya's post first, and replied to his, then I noticed yours.
Thanks for taking care of it - I was looking forward to finding out whether Foliate will display the Nook books stored on my Books share. They're EPUB-based, I think, but with DRM of some kind. But I think Kindle books are, too, so that gave me some hope.
Foliate in the repo is awesome! Had problems with flatpak version so I'll try this one this evening
Another week another successful sync on my XFCE and Plasma setups.
How are things going with testing Discover app store? When will it be released in the stable version approximately? 
As a now middle-aged guy, Solus makes me feel the strangest emotions among all distributions I hopped the last 15+ years: wellness, homeliness and trust. I can barely believe it, it looks like some kind of love. What a nerd have I become?! Félicitations l'équipe, chapeau bas !
EbonJaeger The Budgie folks released an update to Budgie Control Center this week. This release fixes CVE-2023-5616. Notably, sections for GNOME Online Accounts and GNOME Remote Desktop sharing have been removed
Does this mean you can't set up online accounts like gmail account for addressbook/calendar integration at all any more in Budgie? That would be a huge regression.
Sebastian Unfortunately, this is correct. You'll have to temporarily install Gnome Control Center to do this now. Nothing much we can do about it :/
That is very unfortunate indeed. But at least there is a workaround. Thank you for the clarification.
Fingers crossed for Budgie 11 then. Also in regard for Raven calendar integration.
Solus is a Roling distribution? And how often do updates come out to it?
Each friday.
tiberiy0 And how often do updates come out to it?
Usually every weekend. Friday or Saturday, depending on where you are in the world. Occasionally a week is skipped because of a huge number of upgrades needing to be tested, but once a week is the usual schedule.
Solus is not only a rolling release, but it's well curated. Very seldom does a problem get through, and when it does, it's quickly resolved.

alfisya It doesn't work for me at the moment (on KDE):
$ sudo eopkg it -y libwebkit-gtk6 libadwaita foliate
[sudo] password for fab:
The following package(s) are already installed and are not going to be installed again:
foliate libadwaita libwebkit-gtk6
Nessun pacchetto da installare.
fab@solus ~/.local/share/applications $ com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate
bash: /usr/bin/com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate: cannot execute: required file not foundPreviously I used the flatpack which I have currently uninstalled.
