Considering 5.11.1-r1 is having issues as well, follow Soap_'s advice and simply de-stabilise this package.

There used to be a stable version with Qt 4 support, and a testing version with Qt 5 support; we needed to stabilise the newer one to kill the old one. Since this package got destabilised and the old version removed, there's no need to stabilise anymore.
