Hi Tom,
that is very interesting. I assumed the alpha version of MarkupSafe
was the problem (probably never tested on a system with python2) and
that it happened to have been removed, which was why my later manual
build worked. But maybe there is again a newer version.
Because I had NOT removed the 2.7 egg which did get installed, I
think that was used by qtwebengine.
That implies that for future builds Python2 Jinja is still needed,
but might crap out in the later stages of the install - if so, not a
problem. In other words, maybe add ' || true' to the Python2
install and mark it down as collateral damage from the
discontinuation of that version.
But I don't know how pip works (maybe it uses mirrors, and if so thy
might lag behind by a day or two).
I'll bear this in mind, but I don't expect to be building
qtwebengine on a fresh system for several weeks (and if 5.15 is
released and I upgrade my existing systems I won't bother updating
Jinja2).
Thanks.

I normally use instead of k)
