i have updated my local checkout to:

```
commit 7b5f7810a7461970e03bbc7bd25259589c63394a (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: Mathieu Othacehe <othacehe@gnu.org>

    gnu: cuirass: Update to 1.1.0-11.9f08035.
   
    * gnu/packages/ci.scm (cuirass): Update to 1.1.0-11.9f08035.
```

then i have issued:

```
$ ./pre-inst-env guix package -u qbittorrent
```

and now qbitorrent seems to work fine. may be relevant that the command resulted in a local rebuild:

```
The following package will be upgraded:
   qbittorrent (dependencies or package changed)

substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://substitutes.nonguix.org'... 100.0%
substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://ci.guix.gnu.org'... 100.0%
substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org'... 100.0%
The following derivations will be built:
   /gnu/store/hl19l4i2llf3z2h794i9p27amb0xn8vg-profile.drv
   /gnu/store/z40jlbqv4s2wfz3jp072dsf0mvg3nd41-qbittorrent-4.2.5.drv
```

i'm not sure whether this has been fixed in master, or by the fact that it got rebuilt locally.
