When a QML program (e.g. Ethereum, installed from the PPA in this case) tries to

import QtWebEngine 1.0
import QtWebEngine.experimental 1.0

Then I get these errors

file:////usr/share/mist/qml/views/browser.qml:5 module "QtWebEngine" is not installed
file:////usr/share/mist/qml/views/browser.qml:6 module "QtWebEngine.experimental" is not installed

QtWebEngine is in Qt 5.4 which is what I have installed

#> qmake --version
QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.4.0 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

I tried to build QtWebEngine myself but no joy:

#> git clone [email protected]:qt-labs/qtwebengine.git
Cloning into 'qtwebengine'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

1) Why isn't QtWebEngine installed if it's in Qt 5.4, which is installed?

2) Is there a way to install it other than building it myself?

3) What is wrong with the git clone command?

Thanks for reading. I'm doing this on Ubuntu 14.10.

This is specific to Ethereum and the ethereum-qt PPA, which was being upgraded from Qt 5.4.0 to 5.4.1, something that takes many hours to complete. Just apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and everything should be fixed.
