That is right. However, Debian Bullseye will still exist for some time. 
And the up-to-date openSUSE still uses the old glibc (2.31). 
Nevertheless, at least eric can work with both QScintilla versions. If 
the wheel tag gets fixed and the automatism pulls the right version 
again, that would be OK for me.
