Fixes the epoch-mismatch that left qt6-xcb-private-headers-fourier unupgradable on every host whose qt6-base-fourier carried epoch=1. Detail in commit message; observed and worked around on ohm 2026-05-18 via --assume-installed.

pkgrel bumped to 2 so a rebuild publishes a new package (the source content is unchanged; only the dep string in the split-pkg metadata differs).

Next steps after merge:

  • rebuild qt6-base-fourier 1:6.11.1-2 on becquerel (or fermi if it picks it up)
  • publish to packages.reauktion.de/arch
  • pacman -Syu on the fleet will pick it up clean, no --assume-installed workaround needed

qt6-base-fourier: fix epoch-mismatch in xcb-private-headers dep cf169fd13e 
`package_qt6-xcb-private-headers-fourier()` depended on
`qt6-base-fourier=$pkgver` (= literal "6.11.1"), but the package itself
ships with `epoch=1` so the installed version is `1:6.11.1-1`.

Pacman's strict-equality version compare treats "6.11.1" as epoch=0 and
"1:6.11.1" as epoch=1 — mismatch — and refuses every upgrade involving
qt6-xcb-private-headers-fourier with "unable to satisfy dependency".

Fix: include the epoch prefix in the dep string —
`qt6-base-fourier=$epoch:$pkgver`. pkgrel bumped to 2 so the rebuild
publishes a new package even though only the dep string changed.

Observed on ohm 2026-05-18 after the broader fleet pacman -Syu —
worked around there with --assume-installed; this fixes it properly.
