[SOLVED]Failure in the execution of applications based on qt libraries

I use the xfce desktop on my archlinux installation. In today's package update new versions of qt5 libraries have been installed, moving from version 5.15.9 to 5.15.10. Well, immediately after the update, several qt-based applications such as Sigil, Lyx, Scribus, Master-PDF-Editor, etc, have started to crash for the following reason:

principal@slimonemalp:~
$ scribus
Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (5.15.9) with this library (5.15.10)
Abortado (`core' generado)

It seems as if an incomplete update has been performed. Hasn't this happened to anyone else?
As a workaround, I had to downgrade all updated packages and wait for the issue to be fixed.

Thanks, everybody.

Re: [SOLVED]Failure in the execution of applications based on qt libraries

This generally happens when you have something installed from the AUR that needs rebuilt. See pacman -Qm.

could also be a partial update, make sure your entire system is up to date.

Re: [SOLVED]Failure in the execution of applications based on qt libraries

Thank you very much for your immediate response. As my computer is properly updated, I will focus on the two applications in the AUR repository related to qt5: qt5-styleplugins and qt5-webkit. I will rebuild both when I have free time (qt5-webkit will need a long time). I hope you are right and that the issue will be solved. In any case I will report the result: it may be useful to someone else.

in my humble opinion, qt5-webkit should be in the official repositories, not in AUR.

qt5-styleplugins is notorious for this, that's almost certainly a problem.

Re: [SOLVED]Failure in the execution of applications based on qt libraries

You got it absolutely right. I have reinstalled the update and rebuilt the qt5-styleplugins package first, much lighter than the other one. And Voila. Solved.

As always, it's a pleasure to post here the difficulties we newbies have sometimes. Thank you very much
