Arch are using a qt5-webengine-glibc-2.33.patch to fix this, from fedora, reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1904652 Something in glibc-2.33 breaks the chromium sandbox code: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/de...@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/OK3ZF3554P4D5NUGW3BJMR2R7WONIFUY/#OK3ZF3554P4D5NUGW3BJMR2R7WONIFUY Interesting comments in that thread explaining what changed in glibc-2.33. It will be some hours before I can prove that the patch does fix it, but it looks hopeful. Makes me wonder what other surprises are hiding in glibc-2.33. ĸen -- Any attempt to brew coffee with a teapot should result in the error code "418 I'm a teapot".
