New "qt4" package replaces "qt", conflicts with "qt", but NOT provides "qt".
It breaks all persent qt-denending packages, and requires rebuild them all without nesessary.

This old "qt" name for package - is bad idea, but it is NOT MY BAD IDEA.
If someone make it, he MUST support it.

This buggy qt/qt4 conflicting dependency are blocking updates, and trying to force me to rebuild too many packages at once.

Please, remove at least "conflicts=qt" from "qt4" package.
