Wrong install dependencies on a Debian build with QT6 (works with QT5)

[oe4dns]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I searched the existing issues and did not find anything similar.

Current Behavior

Building antimicrox on Debian works as expected when following the official build instructions.

Installing the .deb after building with QT6 fails. The reason is, apt wants to install "libqt6widgets6t64" as a dependency. This is a rather uncommon package and only available in Debian Unstable for the m68k architecture! Removing this dependency from the .deb results in an installable and working programm.

Building with QT5 works and installs as expected. It depends on libqt5widgets which is common and not unexpected at all.

My suspicion is, the libqt6widgets6t64 dependency should in fact be changed to libqt6widgets.

This may be a good idea. I will check it out

According to package registries in Ubuntu repos there is a package libqt6widgets6t64 which replaces package libqt6widgets6 which exists in Debian repos.

It only exists with that name in 24.04; presumably the ones in 24.10 and Plucky use 64-bit time but simply reverted back to the old package name.

The topic page on the Debian Wiki is here:
https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time

It remains to be seen how Debian is going to handle this (or did handle this, considering Ubuntu is branched off of sid, so the different naming in 24.04 could well have come from Debian temporarily altering the name of the package during the transition) when it comes to package naming in the next stable version.
