Issue with qgis-ltr (and also qgis) packages

General system Applications

Hello,

QGis package recently updated to 4.0 and now longer executes. I get the following error qgis: error while loading shared libraries: libQt6UiTools.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Anyway, I prefer to stay with the 3.44 (now LTR) version on my system for now. I found that there is a qgis-ltr package available with yay.
So I removed the qgis package and tried to install the LTR version with yay.

During the compilation/installation process, I end up with the following error :
```
sip-build: /home/user/.cache/yay/qgis-ltr/src/build/python/core/core.sip: line 107: column 9: ‘QtPositioning/QtPositioningmod.sip’ could not be found
```

I mentioned this issue on the AUR page of the package, but I wonder if any of you have faced this issue and managed to solve it in any way ? Or could it be specific to my OS state ?

Is there anything I could do to fix this, and if not, do you know another way to install qgis-ltr on my system ?

For the 4.0 edition, try installing qt6-tools (should have been added as a dependency, but it isn’t).

For the 3.44 edition, try installing python-pyqt6. This may not be enough as the package has multiple dependencies on Qt5.

I can confirm that installing qt6-tools solve the issue for 4.0 version, thanks ! It should be a dependency indeed.

As for the 3.44 version with qgis-ltr package, unfortunately, installing python-pyqt6didn’t solve the issue, the error message remains the same during the installation/compilation process

The qgis-ltr package from AUR has been recently updated, using Qt6 as dependency instead of Qt5. This solved the issue for me !

For the record, the installation/compilation process was RAM intensive - ~30GB, and installed qgis-ltr-debug package which is ~3.5GB. I guess there is no choice but to install it but I wonder if it is necessary.
