Error updating packagekit-qt, removing from list of packages to build.
> Unable to perform git fetch for origin (https://github.com/PackageKit/PackageKit-Qt.git)
So if I can use the local appstream that downloaded by other computer and transfer to mine ?
If you ignore building appstream with kdesrc-build --ignore-module appstream and simply install appstream from your distribution (probably libappstream-dev), Discover will use it instead.
Now downloading the source code, building it and adding it to kdesrc-build is a different process and a bit more involved and requires editing the kdesrc-buildrc configuration file.

,My network does not have permission to access the github and can not fetch the appstream , so i use the option of --noinclude-dependencies . So it seems that I have to apply for network access at first.
Anyway thanks for your reply.
I just realized the method I specified wouldn’t have worked in your case. I see PackageKit-Qt is one of the projects that are on Github, you’re trying to build Discover with Qt6, and Debian does not ship this library built for Qt6.
Unless you’re willing to change distros or use containers, yeah, the only practical way to proceed is to fix whatever network issue you have with Github.
