Bug Description

Kdenlive 15.04.0 crashes on startup as reported by several users:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347264

This is caused by MLT which is a dependency for Kdenlive.
Kdenlive 15.04.x requires to have MLT compiled against Qt5, not Qt4.

The backport PPA does not contain an updated MLT package, so it uses Ubuntu's default on, based onQt4 causing the crash.
To make Kdenlive work would require to publish a Qt5 package of MLT, like the one available in CI:
