Or.... you could just add the qt6-svg package, which is a runtime dependency of Sigil, to make the icons appear. A Qt SVG package is the first one mentioned in the latest Sigil Linux Qt6 build instructions.
/QUOTE]

I tried for a while to find the apt equivalent packages for Qt6 starting from the ones identified for Qt5. I decided about the same as recook but I didn't know where to locate the equivalent of Qt6-svg. It is a bit of a sod that every linux distro needs to reinvent the wheel when it comes to packages and naming conventions. But then that's why so few provide installers for anything in linux.

So I decided to stay with the working Qt5 version of Sigil2.0.2 for the moment. But I'm open to change if and when I get to know the names of the equivalent Qt6 packages in apt.
