Really, on a distro that’s trying to use Qt for everything?  Well, I installed it on a spare partition recently (mainly to check out the new global-menu feature), checking...

$ sudo apt-get install qtcreator
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 qtcreator : Depends: qtbase-abi-5-5-1
             Depends: qtdeclarative-abi-5-5-0
             Recommends: qmlscene
             Recommends: qt5-qmake
             Recommends: qtbase5-dev-tools
             Recommends: qtcreator-doc but it is not going to be installed
             Recommends: qtdeclarative5-dev-tools
             Recommends: qtxmlpatterns5-dev-tools

Wow, how embarrassing.  Why are they stuck with 5.5-something?

Well, at least you can download and install the Qt SDK.  I tried; it runs.  Somebody suggested that there too.

What does that mean?

I wasn’t really aware of it before… don’t think I ever tried it.

>  I'm told the library issue is an actual problem

Why?
