Thank You, Konstantin. I tried this, but had problems installing. Also,
I noticed some output of pacman - it seems, all the needed packages are
fetched from official repositories. As I wanted to rebuild pyside2 and
shiboken2 with an updated cx-freeze (from AUR, and further modified) as
well as an updated version of patchelf (from community-testing), this
doesn't work for me. BTW, I have not checked the dependencies of
pyside2, but I do need the updated packages at least for meshroom-git,
so it's not been important for me to check, if pyside2 has those
dependencies, too.

Kind regards,
Peter
