Upstream is working on a qt6 update: https://github.com/keshavbhatt/whatsie/tree/Orochimarufan-qt6
The update is however not yet complete, we can reintroduce the package later if interest persists.
Upstream is planning deprecation of the gui entirely, see grzegorzmazur/yacas#361.
