PyQt6 6.7.1 wheel: wrong manylinux glibc version?

Sat Jul 27 12:41:39 BST 2024

I've uploaded 6.7.1-1 wheels to the local PyPI server. To add a little 
jeopardy these are built in the new environment (an Ubuntu 20.04 Intel 
container hosted (via Rosetta) on an Ubuntu 22.04 Arm virtual machine 
itself hosted on an Arm Mac Studio).

There is also an updated wheel for Linux on Arm.

I'll move them to pypi.org in a few days if no problems are reported.
