Kdenlive 15.12.0 can't find clip files

Recently upgraded Kdenlive to 15.12.0 during an automatic update on Ubuntu 15.04 (64-bit).

Problem: Ever since the upgrade, I cannot load clips in Kdenlive.

Starting a new project, I went to Project -> Add Clip. A file dialogue window comes up pointing
to the home directory, but no files or directories are shown, even when I select "All files". I can
only navigate to sub-directories by manually editing the directory path name. Still no files
are shown, but on the file pull-down list, the files are listed. However, selecting one brings up
a 'File not found' error. The filename listed in the error message is correct, and the protections
on the file are correct. So I cannot load any clips atm.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior? This was working just fine on the same system when I
was running Kdenlive 15.08.

I have another system running a much older version of Kdenlive, but I'm leery of upgrading that system
until I know that 15.12 is working on this system.

I can not reproduce.

As a workaround, try dragging and dropping files from a file browser into the project bin.

Absolute guess: It sounds like something that might be caused by missing Qt5 libraries perhaps.

Sorry, I haven't been using that computer, been sticking to the one with the Kdenlive version that works.

I did try putting the files into the project bin, but still had the same access problem: I could see the clip files, but I couldn't do anything with them.
And I checked that I had the Qt5 libraries.

Now, the latest: I upgraded Ubuntu Gnome to Wily Werewolf (15.10) last night hoping it would solve the problem, and now I no longer have kdenlive!
I went into synaptic package manager to re-install and ran into dependency hell. There are 4 "depends" and 2 "recommends" it says it won't install.

I had the exactly same problem on Xubuntu and solved it by manually installing the "kio" package.
