QTCreator no longer launches after recent package update

[Tyler799]

Recently, several packages updated on UCRT64. After this update, QTCreator no longer launches. Not even simple things like --help or --version produce any output. It instead seems to exit immediately:

/ >qtcreator --version
/ >qtcreator --help
/ >qtcreator
/ >

A restart of the system did not help.

Here's the list of what updated:

Given that several QT-related packages updated, I'm assuming that's the cause.

In case it is a PATH related issue, here is my PATH:

/ucrt64/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /c/Windows/System32 /c/Windows /c/Windows/System32/Wbem /c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/ /usr/bin/site_perl /usr/bin/vendor_perl /usr/bin/core_perl

Is this a known issue? Should I expect a patch soon or do I need to do some kind of rollback?

It will be rebuilt shortly. See msys2/MINGW-packages#22298.
