Hello Guix,

this note arrived on the KDE distributions mailinglist (which I temporry
subscribed). Important for who ever will update Qt to 5.9.2:

Hi all,

The recent Qt 5.9.2 release, introduces a pretty serious bug which prevents 
some kirigami applications to start at all.
It is described there:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-64017

reverting the commit 98358715930739ca8de172d88c5ce6941c275ff3 in qtdeclarative 
seems to fix the problem, so for distributions i recomend to either patch it 
out or wait on 5.9.2 packaging for now

So do you want to revert that commit on qtdeclarative and qt? I know
you're working on packaging kde.

I suggest reverting this commit, but I'm NOT currently working on this
package. (I'm busy with KDE Plasma).

If there’s nobody who’s currently working on this, could you please
submit this to bug-guix@gnu.org instead of guix-devel?  It’s less likely
to be forgotten then.

Thanks in advance!

Can you suggest a way forward, perhaps simply applying the revert above
on our side?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Efraim pushed an upgrade to 5.9.3 earlier today.  Problem solved!  :-)
