Created attachment 1427104 [details] 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.
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).
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.
recent qtwebkit has higher compiler requirements than qtbase
Actually, I hadn't considered building older qtwebkit against newer qtbase... I'll test to see if that actually can work or not.
First try scratch build, using qtwebkit 5.9.0 : https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=26592303
Better try, https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=26592320
orion on irc pointed out availability of 5.9.1, so that's what we'll probably go with initially, https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=26593895

Never thought that the response to the problem would be so quick. I hope that the issue gets resolved soon, thanks by the way :))
I tested this to build MythTV on Centos 7.5 and it worked.
