Apparently not, just some strange handling of openssl@3; if I understand
correctly, these tests are expected to fail and should be skipped.
I may have found a solution that entails switching from Qt 6.3.1 to 6.3.2
and applying a patch. Does anyone know whether it is possible to just
increase the version of qtbase, while keeping all others at 6.3.1?
Or do we need to keep in lockstep even with patch level versions?

In any case, I realised that we are still compiling most packages (including
KDE) with Qt 5, which is seriously outdated (not maintained any more in the
free version since May 2021). Qt 6.3 support will end in April 2023,
that of the current version Qt 6.4 in September 2023. So we have the work
carved out for a (yet to be created) Qt/KDE team.
