Yes, this happens since some time. Not on 23.04, but all earlier versions do display this and withhold some fixes from non-paying users.
@sierdzio I simply upgraded them anyway, but did not notice any payment requirement. I thought there could be some compatibility issues or version mismatch while my own packages had similar issues before. I purged them and reinstalled them. Then the issue was gone. Or you were kidding?

You mean the "kept back" packages? Yes they can be just upgraded, it's part of staged releases to lower strain on update servers (usually it's enough to try again in ~1 day and they will upgrade normally).
When I mentioned paid support I mean the "get more security updates" part.

I've been using Ubuntu for a few years, and I've recently been diving into Qt development. It's an amazing toolkit, and I've been tinkering with some personal projects. I wanted to see if there are any other Ubuntu users here who are also Qt developers or simply interested in Qt. If you have any tips, tricks, or experiences to share about using Qt on Ubuntu, please do so)

@Janeers Yes, one tip: don't bother building Qt yourself, just use whichever version your Ubuntu come with from the distro!

@JonB Not really. True that It is messy to build Qt. But different versions from Qt installer can also be used. And it is better to install it under /opt in order not to mess up with the Qt which comes with the Linux distribution..

@JoeCFD Since this is lounge I hope it is OK to get little off the subject. I have never understood the philosophy of building an application and THEN somebody decides (?) to do same and ADDS such application to OS ( Ubuntu) repository so us mortals / users do not have build it again - and just do "install"..... I have recently got burned big time when application official GIT source code and its official Ubuntu install did not match....
