...at the same time, are you sure this isn't missing dependency on x11-libs/qwt[qt5] USEdep in the first place?

The only thing I could find upstream wrt Qt6 is linked in $URL. Nothing on https://gitlab.bacula.org/bacula-community-edition/bacula-community yet.

May be. I will have a look into it.

There was some short discussion on the bacula-devel mailing list in january
(see https://sourceforge.net/p/bacula/mailman/message/59122066/ and follow ups).

But it seems that it did not go further. 

If there will be no qt6 port shortly we will have to drop the qt5/6 flags from ebuild. Luckily bacula can be used without the graphical frontend. 

But I would like to keep it as long as possible. I am working atm on the qt6 ports for qsstv and svxlink. Afterwards I plan to try some work on the bacula problem myself.

It is not that urgent yet; at least this is not depending on Qt5WebEngine. This bug is mostly for tracking progress.
