Reason: Stuck on Qt5/PyQt5 in the foreseeable future. Until a Qt6 release is ready, krita-6.0.0 pre-releases will be provided for ~arch. If you rely on krita for professional work or plugins only available in krita-5, your options are Flatpak or snap, or downloading upstream's own 64-bit AppImage - see also: https://krita.org/download/ Bug #955168. Removal some time after 2026-02-15.
