I don't use latest software on all machines, upgrading only when sure 
that it's stable enough after testing. Current 5.18 Neon btw has some 
bugs that keeps me from upgrading (already reported).

I didn't try to install all Qt apps but here are two more:

Calibre: https://pastebin.com/VPSTRpTt
Musescore: https://pastebin.com/xhAdG7j4

In the past qtcreator was affected too:

Is it really such an extra complication? I thought it's just specifying 
"/opt/neon" path as prefix at build time.
