Re: QT related problems after upgrade 7.6 --> 7.7

Hello Rafael,

good advice - but it didn't help. ;-)

During the package upgrade process(es) I stumbled across some further
problems with qt independent library version issues, so I decided to
remove _all_ packages and install the most important packages again
without any old garbage.

( a previous 'pkg_check' listed too much entries and I assume the
package database was partially broken too - don't know why )

Now all runs as expected --> QT 6

Best regards
Andre
