I2Pd on OpenMandriva not working, missing libraries from official repositories, QT version not working properly

[Chef K]

I have recently been testing out OpenMandriva Rock on Qemu so that I can determine if it is worth installing on a new laptop and I tried to install I2Pd.

I tried to install I2Pd from the official OpenMandriva Repository and DNF told me that the existing package was missing dependencies that were not included with my repo.

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

this tells me that the maintainers of the I2Pd package on OpenMandriva had failed to include nessesary libraries to be included with I2Pd of which needs to be resolved.

and yes, I did include all four package respositories in om-repo-config

so then I tried to use the I2Pd package included within flatpak.

I2Pd-qt was able to start but as soon as I tried to use the specific ports for connecting and using I2P, I found that I2Pd-qt had failed to open them

I had checked and confirmed that the webconsole, SOCKS5 and HTTP Port were all enabled and yet were not opened.

please fix these issues.

Edit: I also forgot to mention that the daemon for i2pd-qt never starts as it never goes beyond this in the logs
