📄 Description

If unprivileged user namespaces are enabled, QtWebengine needs chroot to set up its own sandbox. We adapted a number of profiles already, see for instance the Qutebrowser, Akregator, Bibletime, Calibre, Falkon or Kmail profiles.

This pull request adds the same exception to the Anki, Digikam, MuseScore, Psi+ and Quassel profiles. Note that this is mostly untested, and based only on reverse dependencies in Arch and some coarse understanding of the use of QtWebengine in respective apps.

fixes #3124
