"Meta object revision without matching export" in Qt Creator

[Josh Kelley]

When I try to create a new Qt Quick Controls project in Qt Creator 3.5.0, after I finish the project creation wizard, I get the following errors:

Warnings while parsing QML type information of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/Ubuntu/Components:
Failed to parse "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/Ubuntu/Components/plugins.qmltypes".

As I result, the Run button in Qt Creator is grayed out with the following error: 'The .pro file "untitled.pro" could not be parsed.'

This bug is caused by setting `exportMetaObjectRevisions` to `[0,0]` on `Component` blocks that only have one `export` defined. Deleting the comma and the second `0` fixes this.

This change needs to be applied on lines 1058, 1067, and 1085 of the following file:

`/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/Ubuntu/Components/plugins.qmltypes`

Once I made those changes, I was able to enter the design page for a new QML app with qmake without encountering a blocking popup block.

I am running a fresh install of Ubuntu 15.10 with an amd64 architecture; other architectures may need to replace the `x86_64-linux-gnu` part of the file path with something more system-appropriate.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

$ apt-show-versions qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-toolkit-pluginqtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-toolkit-plugin:amd64/xenial 1.3.1872+16.04.20160314-0ubuntu1 uptodate

I’ve tried to change [0.1] whit [0], [1], [1.1]. Nothing change :/
