Bug Description

When launching GNU Octave 5.2 I get two dialog boxes, the first saying:

"Could not copy help collection to temporary file. Search capabilities may be affected. Cannot load sqlite database driver."

and the second:

"Could not setup the data required for the documentation viewer. Only help texts in the Command Window will be available"

This problem is solved by installing the libqt5sql5-sqlite package.
