kddockwidgets built for Qt 6 is now in extra, please install that package instead.

@Rubo thank you for the quick response. As a matter of fact, I did have hotspot installed. Removing that fixed the error, thank you very much. It didn't show up on paru -Sii so I have no idea how I could've found it if it weren't for your comment.

@macak what exactly is the error you got when you said "to no avail"? If it's because you are using kddockwidgets-qt6 as a dependency of another package, like hotspot, please remove that package instead and re-install it, you will then download the new kddockwidgets package that is in extra.

Etc.

I have tried removing with -Runs, but to no avail. When I try to install from scratch, even after cleaning the cache with -Sc, I get linking errors

Thanks, it looks good and clean now :-)

@patlefort @Martchus done, tell me if you need anything else.

While it is a good idea to add sodepends, please don't add versions to them. The version is automatically generated by makepkg - that's the whole point. These dependencies should also go preferably under package(). Checkout https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=syncthingtray-qt6 for an example.

I would also leave out the version in the other dependencies. Adding a specific version is only done exceptionally in Arch Linux packaging as it is normally a given that one updates all their dependencies consistently. Hence these specific versions often become out of date without anybody noticing and are then rather useless.

It's generally preferable to add them as runtime only, like:

package() {
    depends+=('libfmt.so' 'libspdlog.so')

You should omit the version, they will be pinned to the installed version automatically when installed. For example, the .so file depends on libspdlog.so.1.16, so any update to spdlog version would require kddockwidgets-qt6 be rebuilt always.

@patlefort done, is it ok for you just like this?

Can you please add libspdlog.so and libfmt.so in depends? It helps detecting needed rebuild.
