There is stuff in Extras(-devel?) (not much, but still) that depends on 4.5. Keep that in mind before getting into a packaging frenzy. Thank you

The 4.6 packages have no replaces, provides or similar clause so when you remove 4.5 (as suggested in qgil's post) you remove all software built with 4.5 dependencies (and also the ability to install them again). It get's even funkier when you discover this also means you just uninstalled PySide. Bazinga ! 
And if you don't remove 4.5, you're still in trouble as ldconfig will pick the first libQtCore.so.4 it runs across, whether it's 4.5 or 4.6, so dependencies don't mean anything. Bazinga #2 !
All in all, I would recommend whoever is packaging 4.6 to talk to Jeremiah about a thing or two as the 4.6 packaging is FUBAR-d (this is where qgil sends me to the official support channel
)

Sorry, but it is not packaged properly. Even if it turns out the Python thing mentioned above is something I messed up on my SB, the Qt4.6 packages, as they have a different package name than 4.5, MUST define proper provides/replaces/conflicts clauses or they WILL wreak havoc on devices.

when you remove 4.5 (as suggested in qgil's post)
- Get a recent Ubuntu.
- Install the full Maemo 5 SDK via GUI installer.
- Install the libqt4-maemo5 libraries to get Qt 4.6
So my humble conclusion it's that the non-conflictive situation in the SDK is just the same. I would try again if I would have all the time, but I don't have it and I believe my time is more useful elsewhere.
Anybody willing to try the three simple steps described above?

I have Miniature running in the N900. It pulled the 4.6 libraries. Activesync (using 4.5) works as usual and the 4.6 packages from extras-devel didn't conflict in any way with the pre-installed 4.5 packages.
