            Bug ID: 362917
           Summary: qtbase-abi-* breakage
           Product: neon
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: released packaging
          Assignee: neon at kde.org
          Reporter: kde at obfusc8.org

A significant chunk of packages are currently uninstallable (and forcably
removed) after adding and upgrading to the neon package archive, due to (in
16.04) dependency on qtbase-abi-5-5-1.

I understand that kde-applications have not been brought into the archive yet,
but is there also a plan to build all the other dependent software (eg,
python-pyqt5*, etc)?

In the short term there should probably be some prominent warnings somewhere
that QT-based software won't work in conjunction with neon, and if added to an
existing installation, will result in the removal of such software when
upgrading to the neon archive.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Add neon to an existing install
2.  dist-upgrade
3.  Lose packages depending on qtbase-abi-5-5-1

or

1.  Install neon from media
2.  Try to install package depending on <5.6 QT ABI

Actual Results:  
Packages are removed in the first case, and fail to install both cases.
