Not sure what caused it specifically here, but this happens as soon as anything 
triggers a rebuild of a part of Qt for whatever reason. That part is then 
taken from the kde/5.15 head, which is newer than the rest of Qt in the cache.

The effect used to spread/worsen over time as more things in the cache become 
outdated (not sure if that got better or worse with the significantly reduced 
Qt5-related activity nowadays).

Pinning the Qt5 version might be a good compromise then? Keeping Kirigami 
working in a fixed environment should be fine, but dealing with the movement in 
Qt, Android and Craft for one major version is hard enough already.
