Source: qt6-webengine
Version: 6.4.2-final+dfsg-11
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Affects: src:re2

The next RE2 transition is waiting for qt6-webengine to support
libre2-11 (re2 >= 20230601), available in experimental.

Upstream, RE2 added a dependency on Abseil, changing its API a little.

Chromium has supported this since around 116. (Debian's chromium
currently builds with the bundled re2). The relevant commits are by
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/q/owner:junyer@chromium.org and
reference bug 1447090
