Problem while building Elisa from source on Linux

[Rik Mills]

Elisa is not buildable on Bionic, as it requires a minimum of Qt 5.10,
whereas Bionic has Qt 5.9.5.

Also I can see that you are attempting to install some packages built
for 18.10 (Cosmic) in Bionic, which is going to error in the way you are
seeing, since debian renamed libkf5config-bin-dev  to
libkf5config-bin-dev, which is a change we inherited and the
breaks/replaces against << 5.47.0~ are required to allow smooth normal
upgrades to the renamed package. However, in your case you have
downloaded a .deb package to force install directly, which rightly it
refuses to do as it conflicts with the version already on your system.
