This list is based on the beta tarballs with some (already committed) fixes on top to fix build with latest kdiagram and plasma-activities.

Frameworks:

- ktexteditor: conflicts with KF5
  /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.kde.ktexteditor.katetextbuffer.service
  /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d/org.kde.ktexteditor.katetextbuffer.conf
  /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.kde.ktexteditor.katetextbuffer.policy

- purpose: conflicts with KF5

  /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/phabricator-purpose.png
  /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/reviewboard-purpose.png

Plasma:

- plasma-activities: conflicts with kdebugsettings
  /usr/share/qlogging-categories6/kde.renamecategories

Gear:

- kdepim-runtime: FTBFS with etesync - there's a missing QtConcurrent dependency, but even after adding it build fails https://invent.kde.org/pim/kdepim-runtime/-/merge_requests/137
- audiotube: FTBFS. It seems to be in a weird, half-ported state https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477390
- libkcddb: Qt5/6 versions collide (translations and desktop files). Qt5 version still needed for k3b, soundkonverter, tellico
- analitza: Qt5/6 versions collide (same lib name). Qt5 version optionally needed by cantor (workaround: disable kalgebra backend in cantor)
- keduvocdocument: Qt5/6 versions collide (same lib name). Qt5 version is a hard dependency of parley, this blocks packaging parley
- krfb: requires Qt5 kpipewire, which collides with its Qt5 version. Useless without it on Wayland.
- ksanecore: Qt5/6 versions collide. Qt6 version needed by skanpage, Qt5 version needed by skanlite.
- kpublictransport: Qt5/6 versions collide. Qt5 version needed by kosmindoormap and itinerary. Blocks packaging itinerary.
- pim libraries: translations collide with the Qt5 versions, still needed by some apps (digikam, kmymoney).
- qmlkonsole: builds fine, but it's useless since there is no Qt6 version of qmltermwidget.
- kio-extras: KF5/6 versions collide:
  /usr/include/KioArchive/kio_archivebase.h
  /usr/include/KioArchive/kioarchive_version.h
  /usr/include/KioArchive/libkioarchive_export.h
  /usr/lib/cmake/KioArchive/KioArchiveConfig.cmake
  /usr/lib/cmake/KioArchive/KioArchiveConfigVersion.cmake
  /usr/lib/cmake/KioArchive/KioArchiveTargets-noconfig.cmake
  /usr/lib/cmake/KioArchive/KioArchiveTargets.cmake
  /usr/lib/libkioarchive.so.5
  /usr/lib/libkioarchive.so.5.98.0
  /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.kmtpd5.service
  /usr/share/konqueror/dirtree/remote/mtp-network.desktop
  /usr/share/remoteview/afc-network.desktop
  /usr/share/remoteview/mtp-network.desktop
  /usr/share/solid/actions/solid_afc.desktop
  /usr/share/solid/actions/solid_mtp.desktop

Other:

- libquotient: Qt5/6 versions collide. Qt5 version optionally needed by itinerary.
- kirigami-addons: Qt5/6 versions collide (translations)
- phonon: Qt5/6 versions collide (translations)

Missing releases of dependencies:

- tokodon, neochat (optionally) depend on unreleased kunifiedpush
- plasmatube, tokodon hard depend on unreleased mpv-qt
- libkscreen depends on unreleased changes in plasma-wayland-protocols
