Recent CentOS Stream Qt update broke some EPEL packages like keepassxc that needed a rebuild against the new Qt version. Can we talk about a way to prevent this from happening again? Best regardsLooking at keepassxc specifically, I'd say take the following line out of the spec file. %{?_qt5:Requires: %{_qt5}%{?_isa} = %{_qt5_version}}
If you let rpmbuild figure out the dependencies (which it is already doing fairly well), then it will know when there is a real ABI change and you need to rebuild the package. Looking at "dnf repoquery --requires keepassxc | grep -i qt" and then looking at the changes that happened in qt5, it looks like it wouldn't have needed a rebuild if the Requires wasn't manually set.
I'm not saying rpmbuild is 100% perfect for figuring out requires, but in this case it was doing it right.
That macro is needed to avoid situations where users somehow manage to install keepassxc on a system with old Qt version like in following bugreport https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2068981
