Hi Dmitry, Thanks for this report and the work you've put into it; I was unaware of the EOL state of Qt5. Is the plan to remove the whole of Qt5 for the upcoming trixie release, or to keep it in trixie but then remove it during the next Debian release cycle? In the meantime, I'll look at switching some of my other Qt5-using packages to Qt6. Best wishes, Julian
