This can be trouble if the application actually works with Qt5. It |

might depend on Qt4 but has no problems with Qt5 (contrary to Qt3 vs |

Qt4, Qt5 is mostly compatible with much of existing Qt4 code), |

needlessly pulling-in Qt4. Many applications simply build and run as-is |

and no code changes are necessary. |

So what would be the methodology of making sure a package has the proper |

slot? |
