I logged into launchpad.net, but I cannot see any option to open a report.

I see

Within Browse bugs I would expect also an option to report a bug, but cannot see any.

Someone already reported bug 1981898.

And you should see on the right hand side a “Report a bug” link for a package (e.g. libfm-qt).

Hey, thanks for posting this here, it got my attention, and I think I figured out what went wrong and am working on getting it fixed.

I removed libfm-qt11 and it also removed a few package files, then re-installed lxqt-core and it put what it needed back and things are ok again.

7

Could you please show the commands so I can c&p them and execute them step by step in terminal?

The problem appears to be found, and it should be just a matter of time before it gets fixed (just waiting on the good packages to get through the NEW queue).
