Re: Lintian leaves me with error when Build-Depending from qt5-default :-( (Was: C++ / Qt help for Ugene needed)

Currenly I'm left with a riddle about the role of qt5-default which is a metapackage and lintian throws an error when Build-Depending from a metapackage.

If you have a question or doubts about Lintian output, please aways quote what Lintian said exactly.

Anyway, contrary to what Lintian might have said, qt5-default is not a metapackage. From the package description:

This package sets Qt 5 to be the default Qt version to be used when using development binaries like qmake. It provides a default configuration for qtchooser, but does not prevent alternative Qt installations from being used.

This package should not be used for building Debian packages. Take a look at http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/packagingqtstuff.html for more information.
