KDE Neon 6 broken on arm64
Metadata
Current evaluation
Reported arm64 kde-neon-6 failure caused by an incomplete kf6-core22 content snap; the issue remains unlabelled and untriaged despite a later related upstream fix.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The report provides a Raspberry Pi 5 reproducer, the missing-library error, and a concrete comparison showing that arm64 kf6-core22 lacks Qt6. Snapcraft's spread test is deliberately amd64-only, while Launchpad #1881963 identifies the same problem as an upstream content-snap limitation tracked by KDE/neon #449001; Snapcraft #5288 later records an upstream Neon fix, but does not establish arm64 coverage, so ownership and current status need revalidation.
