It appears that in recent versions of Microsoft edge support for qt6 has been added, resulting in the addition of a `libqt6_shim.so` file to the deb archive the package is extracted from. While I haven't dug into the details for all versions it looks like the change happened sometime after version 110.0.1587.69-1. I'm no package maintainer but I'd imagine this would need a `qt6` USE flag much like the current `qt5` USE flag to enable/disable it. Currently this presents an issue as portage isn't made aware of the dependency to `qtbase` which `libtq6_shim.so` implies. And this gives rise to preserved-libs issues. Below is the output from emerging microsoft-edge (as a rebuild) in its current state which illustrates the issue. ## emerge microsoft-edge ## These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies .... done!
