A similar issue was reported a few weeks back with the nvidia driver, with
the ldd based script noticing that libcrypto.so.3 was not being found.

As it turns out, the binary Nvidia driver is made to support multiple
versions of libraries and will link to different versions based on what's
on the system. libcrypto.so.3 is for openssl v3, which isn't used in
Slackware 15.0, but it does have a fallback to use openssl v1.1 if v3 isn't
found.

We are likely seeing a similar issue here where several of your reported
programs are probably designed to work with both qt5 and qt6, depending on
what's found on the system. The software likely has a priority of qt6 and
would use that unless it's not found, and then fall back to qt5 libraries.

As long as the software works, it's likely what we're seeing and can likely
be safely ignored.
