'qt6-webview' is blacklisted - 'neochat' will need to have it's web feature disabled if possible, or it will also need to be blacklisted

$ pacman -Ss neochat
extra/neochat 24.02.0-1 (kde-applications kde-network)
    A client for matrix, the decentralized communication protocol

there are several other matrix clients you could use - so this one is probably not much of a loss if it has to go

  • purple-matrix
    Libpurple protocol plugin for matrix.
  • element-web
    Glossy Matrix collaboration client — web version.
  • fractal
    Matrix group messaging app
  • gomuks
    A terminal based Matrix client written in Go
  • nheko
    Desktop client for the Matrix protocol
  • quaternion
    Qt5 Matrix client, with IRC/hexchat-like GUI
  • weechat-matrix
    WeeChat Matrix protocol script written in Python

i do not plan to make a replacement for 'neochat' - there are already other applications in the repos which do the same job - o/c if someone wants to de-web it someday, it could be readmitted
