Unfortunately not possible i'm afraid - as release/23.08 is no longer
supported (as no further releases are being made).
I therefore terminated all CI support for that branch to ensure that any
issues like this one were forced to the surface.

The dependency chain is also @same as both are part of KDE Gear so from a
technical perspective that doesn't work either.

bundle in order to build...

The only fix is to either drop Qt 5 support from kio-gdrive, or to restore
Qt 5 support to libkgapi.
