[PRQ#47634] Deletion Request for qt5-pbfimageplugin
tumic [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-pbfimageplugin [2]: As GPXsee (I don't know any other "widespread" SW using the plugin) is for a long time compiled using Qt6 in Arch, this package is of no use today and due to the broken CMake file (which is Arch/AUR specific, the QtPBFImagePlugin project does not ship that file) it even breaks compilation of other Qt5 packages, so I really do not see any reason for the package to exist... Updating the package also does not make sense as the Qt6-based package definitely should have a different name like "qt6-pbfimageplugin".

+1 for the deletion. As the other AUR dependent, qeh-git is broken and abandoned by upstream since 2+ years ago. (See deletion request PRQ#49095 for that pkg.
