Cannot Port Qt5(Pyside2) project to Qt6(Pyside6) (FIXED)

I am attempting to port my development in Qt to version 6 and have hit a roadblock with a critical tool missing in the qt6-base package.

In Qt you can compile resources for C++ or python projects using their rcc tool. For the qt5-base package these are located here:
/usr/bin/rcc
/usr/bin/rcc-qt5

In the qt6-base package these are missing entirely. I cannot use the version 5 program because Qt does not maintain binary compatibility between major versions.

There seems to be /usr/lib/qt6/rcc

 % CUTF pacman -F rcc
extra/qt5-base 5.15.2+kde+r195-1 (qt qt5) [installed]
    usr/bin/rcc
extra/qt6-base 6.1.0-1 (qt6) [installed]
    usr/lib/qt6/rcc

That file exists for me too and it works, thank you!
