Ideally KDE should not have strict Qt version dependency as I suppose Qt
should not be breaking compatibility between patch releases. That's the
theory though. For example keepassxc was broken after upgrade as well
due to some missing symbol related to qt concurrent. Either Qt broke ABI
compatibility or keepassxc misused Qt API, whichever is more likely. I
didn't bother to investigate deeper. Unless someone investigates what
and why is broken in KDE and rebuilds just affected packages, I suppose
the best way forward is indeed rebuild everything each time Qt is
upgraded.
