So I hit this pretty quickly, using the DOCXImport plugin. The first error simply said it needed PySide6, so I got that installed as follows:

But I guess that is not sufficient, since I now get a message about an undefined symbol:

Any pointers on where to go from here? (And this isn't at all urgent, since I use LO Writer and the ODT Import works well.)
