That is also not going to be a setup we will want to ship in Fedora. We will 
likely be patching the programs to use qdbus-qt5 (without the space) 
instead. At least that version could be upstreamed if the code invoking 
qdbus is written in a language that makes PATH lookups easy. (For C++/Qt 
code, try QStandardPaths::​findExecutable("qdbus-qt5"), but C++/Qt code 
should be using QDBus directly rather than through the command-line tool to 
begin with!)
