** Description changed: We would like to update Qt to 6.9.2 in Questing. https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_6.9_Release It is obvious this is quite late, but there are some factor that motivate us to get this done. - 1) Qt 6.9.2 is the latest stable release, which is still active and will receive further bugfixes. It is however at the .2 point release relatively mature and tested and widely adopted at this point in other distos. The current Qt 6.8 in Questing is however EOL, and will not get further fixes. - 2) Qt 6.9 is now the minium Qt version projects such as KDE are setting for their projects, so if we wish to backport some newer things for Kubuntu (and maybe other flavours), having 6.9 will facilitate this. + 1) Qt 6.9.2 is the latest stable release, which is still active and will receive further bugfixes.

However I/we will commit to getting this done and dealing with any issue that might come as a result. So I respectfully request that the release team approve this FFe. Packages are being prepared in: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa- service/+archive/ubuntu/4982/+packages and can be landed once some have published and a few riscv64 builds are completed. Have also been feeding back to debian-qt-kde about the transition, and will forward more to them on rebuilds and any further issues. Have tested upgrades and things seem ok on full systems. Testers have also reported back that things look good.
