Hello everyone! Obviously we expect there to be bumps in the road while packaging unstable ( master ), however in most cases you can set QT_VERSION_MAJOR and dual build qt5 and qt6 version to satisfy both qt5 and qt6 applications. I have stumbled on libkgapi which master does not support this and will only build qt6. kio-gdrive is not yet ported and as such creating a bit of chaos with apt. We have come up with a workaround, but shouldn't libraries still support both when there are applications out there that still depend on the qt5 variant? Thanks, Scarlett
