Please port your package away from Qt 4

[Simon Quigley]

Currently Qt 4 has been dead upstream and we are starting to have problems maintaining it, like for example in the OpenSSL 1.1 support case.

Following in the footsteps of Debian[1], all packages directly or indirectly depending on qt4-x11 (like this one) must either get ported to Qt 5 and uploaded to the development release or get removed (by means of demotion to -proposed or removal of the package) before the 19.04 release. If it is possible to port your package by the 18.10 release, please do so.

If you have any questions about porting or this transition, please ask in #ubuntu-qt (preferred) or directly ping me

This bug was fixed in the package knights - 18.11.80-1

---------------
knights (18.11.80-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload.
  * New upstream development release: (Closes: #874962) (LP: #1757703)
    - now part of KDE Applications, so adopt its versioning
  * Switch Vcs-* fields to salsa.debian.org.
  * Remove knights-dbg in favour of the -dbgsym package
    - stop forcing --destdir for dh_auto_install, as there is only one binary
      now
  * Bump the debhelper compatibility to 11:
    - bump the debhelper build dependency to 11~
    - bump compat to 11
    - remove --parallel for dh, as now done by default
  * Drop the Debian-provided knights man page, as knights does not really have
    command line options.
  * Remove trailing whitespaces in changelog, and control.
  * Remove empty line at the end of changelog.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 4.2.1, no changes required.
  * Add a watch file.
  * Add the upstream GPG signing key.
  * Update the build dependencies following the port to Frameworks:
    - remove kdelibs5-dev, and libkdegames-dev
    - add extra-cmake-modules, qtbase5-dev, libqt5svg5-dev,
      libqt5texttospeech5-dev, libkf5configwidgets-dev, libkf5crash-dev,
      libkf5dbusaddons-dev, libkf5doctools-dev, libkf5kio-dev, libkf5plasma-dev,
      libkf5plotting-dev, libkf5textwidgets-dev, libkf5xmlgui-dev,
      libkf5wallet-dev, and libkf5kdegames-dev
  * Use the right dh addon:
    - switch from kde to kf5 dh addon
    - bump the pkg-kde-tools build dependency to >= 0.15.16
  * Switch cmake parameter BIN_INSTALL_DIR to KDE_INSTALL_BINDIR, as the former
    is deprecated.
  * Switch the Homepage to kde.org.
  * Switch Maintainer to Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers.
  * Bump the cmake build dependency to >= 3.2.0, as indicated by the upstream
    build system.
