Yes, I've been seeing the exact same thing. Although this _append
claims to be fixing the rpath issue, I'm still seeing QA issues (which
lead to errors) build packaging qtwebkit.

Interestingly enough, the _append you mention is only trying to fix
QtWebProcess but I'm seeing this rpath error occur on both it and
QtWebPluginProcess.

As you, Richard, and everyone else has mentioned it would be nice to
have a "proper" fix instead of things which patch up files afterward.
This is why I like Marek's proposal since it fixes the *.prf file
before the build. Looking through that patch, however, I'm wondering
if it couldn't be a little cleaner? Marek's patch simply comments out
a couple lines. I think it would be cleaner to just remove the lines
that are causing problems and/or investigate whether or not that *.prf
file is actually needed at all in this build environment.

Are there any comments on what Marek has targetted? Would others
consider this a "proper" fix (if the patch were cleaned up)?

Best regards,
