epel breaks update.

In the recent redhat 7.5 release qt5 gets updated to 5.9.2 while other packages in the epel such as qt5-qtwebkit and qt5-qtdeclarative are at the version 5.6.2. Doing a "sudo yum update" breaks existing applications depending on qt5-qtwebkit and thus breaking the update.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
the current version (in 7.5 release) of qt5-qtbase package is 5.9.2, while the epel still holds the above-mentioned packages at version 5.6.2.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install qt5-qtwebkit before update.
2. sudo yum update
3. qt5-qtwebkit is broken as qt5-qtbase gets updated to higher version.

Actual results:
The system can not upgrade not without compromising the application dependent 
qt5-qtwebkit.

Expected results:
qt5-qtwebkit should have been included with redhat repos and shoud have been in sync with qt5-qtbase.

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2018-04-26 13:34:22 UTC
This will trickier, due to rhel7's old default gcc compiler being too old to support modern qtwebkit.  We'll likely have to use devtools SCL (at least).

Comment 2 yash 2018-04-27 12:30:14 UTC
Is there any workaround until that is done. Also, how is it that qt5-qtbase has been built with the rhel's gcc version but qtwebkit faces problems.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2018-04-27 13:34:05 UTC
recent qtwebkit has higher compiler requirements than qtbase

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2018-04-27 13:39:28 UTC
Actually, I hadn't considered building older qtwebkit against newer qtbase... I'll test to see if that actually can work or not.

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2018-04-27 13:46:07 UTC
First try scratch build, using qtwebkit 5.9.0 :

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2018-04-27 14:05:39 UTC
Better try,

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2018-04-27 16:52:31 UTC
orion on irc pointed out availability of 5.9.1, so that's what we'll probably go with initially,

Never thought that the response to the problem would be so quick. I hope that the issue gets resolved soon, thanks by the way :))
