Dear all,
I would like to help for some advice on the bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=495878
I have asked upstream [1] for his opinion and he thinks that there is something wrong in the packaging, but I can't find what...
The spec file can be seen in [2]
If anyone has any hints.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards, Pierre

The package got built against Qt 4.5 and pushed to stable while Qt 4.5 was still in testing, which is not a valid thing to do.
Qt 4.5 is now in the stable updates, please update your qt package and rkward should work.

Then I am surprised, I though that when you build "normally" a package it does not take into account package in updates-testing unless you explicitly ask rel-eng to add this build to the chain.
But thanks for the hint, it seems to indeed correct that bug :) I must have missed the announcement "Do not build against qt-4.5 and push to stable while qt-4.5 is still in testing" :)
Best regards,
Pierre

That's what we did for Qt 4.5, so other stuff (which needed it) could be built against Qt 4.5.
Buildroot overrides affect ALL packages built against a given package, they are not per build. So building a package against Qt 4.4 required untagging Qt 4.5 from the buildroot, building the package and retagging Qt 4.5 (which is why my announcement said it should be done only if really needed, otherwise the update should just wait for Qt 4.5).

Yet it was sent even to fedora-devel-announce (and fedora-devel-list, too).
You MUST read the announcements in fedora-devel-announce (they're automatically sent to this list as well).
