depends: avoid qdbusviewer in Qt build
This is unused, and causes issues with static builds.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit removes an unused Qt tool called qdbusviewer from Bitcoin Core's dependency build. It is a build-system cleanup with no apparent security relevance.
No security action needed. Treat as routine build maintenance.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch modifies depends/patches/qt/qttools_skip_dependencies.patch to prevent building qdbusviewer in the Qt qttools module. The commit message states this tool is unused and causes issues with static builds. The change is purely subtractive and build-related.
