Dear Maintainers,
I can't upgrade QT to 6.7.2 because it attemps to remove kate editor that I use every day: is it possible to update this package?

You're (probably) running the version of kate in experimental, which has
not been rebuilt against the recent QT 6.7.2 (because, I believe, rebuilds
are not automatically performed for packages in experimental.)

The solution is to downgrade to the version in testing.

Thanks,
Antonio

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  kate kwrite libpyside6-py3-6.6 libqt5systeminfo5 libshiboken6-py3-6.6 zeal
...
375 upgraded, 9 newly installed, 6 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 230 MB of archives.
After this operation, 183 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] ^C



It may be easiest to simply allow those to be uninstalled, and then re-install
the package afterwards.  By default, apt will be very shy about downgrading
package, since that is not supported (though with a leaf, user package like
kate, really the worst that can happen is broken user configuration, which
should be easily fixed by just blowing away the old config).

Best,
Antonio
