Step 3. Describe the issue

During the latest Arch LInux repository update (with all -testing and -unstable repos enabled because I like to live on the edge), after a reboot, Quickshell refuses to start, giving this error code in response to a manual start with qs:

qs: symbol lookup error: qs: undefined symbol: _ZN23QUntypedPropertyBindingC1EP23QPropertyBindingPrivate, version Qt_6_PRIVATE_API
<details><summary>Logs</summary>

I will assume that this is on Qt 6.11.2, as this is the latest packaged Arch version of qt displayed by pacman -Qs. This is most likely a breaking change to Quickshell's interaction with the qt system and may be a quickshell issue itself. I'm not sure about this (all I know is that nothing works)... but help would be much appreciated on this issue, especially if anybody is also experiencing this issue.

As I write this, I am currently reinstalling the dotfiles (skipping MicroTeX because there appears to be some issue with it that I don't know how to fix in ./setup install (package cannot build due to a reason I also can't comprehend)), and I'm hoping this fixes the issue. If it does, I'll post after this and most likely close the issue. If not, we may have a problem on our hands.

Reminder

• I agree that it's usually impossible for others to help me without my logs.

[i-use-arch-btw-lol]

UPDATE: after reinstall, it works like a charm! However, please fix the MicroTeX thing... it always bugs me when I have to manually intervene for an install script (even though I am an arch user, I'm not a hardcore one), and any help getting this fixed would really be amazing!
