Qt5 5.10.0 and KDE Frameworks 5.45.0 error

[Alexander Stippich]

Hello,

to add some more options to the list:
There is the kubuntu backports ppa which you can add to your software sources 
that provides some updated packages. It backports some releases, for example 
right now there is KDE Frameworks 5.46 available, but it currently does not 
help you with Qt 5.10. So it won't work right now, but may have all the 
required packages in the future.

If you don't want to care about updated packages at all, you could the KDE 
neon user edition instead of (K)ubuntu, as it always comes with the latest 
stable KDE releases.

Best regards,
Alex
