Details

Description:
Since there is not version number in the qt5 binaries, it is impossible to use qt4 binaries without full path when qt5-tools is installed.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Install qt5-tools and qt

$ type -a lconvert
lconvert is /usr/bin/lconvert
lconvert is /usr/lib/qt4/bin/lconvert

$ type -a qdbus
qdbus is /usr/bin/qdbus
qdbus is /usr/lib/qt4/bin/qdbus

There are some subtle difference between the qt4 and qt5 version and one may need to use both of them.
This task depends upon

Ok, I'll add lconvert-qt4 and qdbus-qt4 symlinks in the next package update

= = these are just examples of shadowed binaries. There are actually a lot more then these....

I'll symlink everything in /usr/lib/qt4/bin in /usr/bin/*-qt4
