Re: Latest qt4 backports break bpo qtcreator and wireshark
Hi
>Currently half of the qt5 packages from bpo are 5.6 while the other ones are still at version 5.3... and I'm speaking about the package from Oracle repo, NOT debian >(but actually it will also impact the package from Debian BPO when it is out).
forcing the whole qt5 stack to go at version 5.3 should make vbox installable (I know this is the one from Oracle, but
they aren't enforcing a particular version AFAIR)
so, the problem here is that you have half upgraded the stack, not that the stack from jessie
is not capable of installing it.
