VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE

When build for the Qt5 widgetset, the combination of stable/v3.0 and ubuntu-latest/ubuntu-22.04 is going to fail.

This is why this example is failing when attempting the mentioned combination of widgetset, Lazarus version and Ubuntu version.

This is due to the fact that libqt5pas is outdated and does not support the new code delivered by Lazarus 3.0.

This is a problem related to the Ubuntu distribution's repositories and the version of libqt5pas they carry, used by the GitHub runners.

According to the maintainer of said libqt5pas, in this answer, one solution is to have the workflow script download and install a newer version.

The newer version can be obtained here: https://github.com/davidbannon/libqt5pas/releases

Thank you for your patience, continued support and please accept my deepest apologies for this inconvenience.
