@ilyxa Sorry for delayed response. I don't know how to help. Maybe those are the usual Qt6 migration pains.
Based on existing messages, it looks okay to use wsjtx.groups.io. There is also a wsjtx-improved mailing list.

@debugrr Functional break or the typical need to rebuild after library updates? If you don't build in clean chroot, you would have to force library updates (sudo pacman -Syudd).
Seems to break after the boost libs update on April 25, haven't had a chance to troubleshoot.
@xiota
Does the Qt5-based package have the same issues?
No. Actual 260418 qt5 version still compiling and working good (after resolving minor issue with fresh gcc as described here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wsjtx-improved-widescreen#comment-1068038 or https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wsjtx-improved#comment-1067947).
BTW, qt6 looks bit different, "feel" slow and sluggish on remote session, this is only inadquate personal experience.
Also there is no alsa devices avail in qt6, input device INOP/not fount every time restarting app.
I'm not sure that all problems is arch specific.
Is there is some issue tracker? Groups.io, sf, github, discord, maybe?
@xiota Thanks! It successfully built and installed.
