seemed similar to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456205 but adding ID_LIKE=ubuntu debian to /etc/os-release gives this error instead: * Unable to open file '/home/user/.local/state/sysadmin-repo-metadata/module-definitions/kf6-qt6.ksb' which was included from /home/ihaber/.config/kdesrc-buildrc:77

okay... it seems to be caused by the latest commit 2ff27ba7ac4ebc200f1c15bcd2e12e2b8cad67c3 going back to the previous commit version, the initial setup works fine.
