Hello, for people experiencing issues with qt and my ppa, please add this additional repo
https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/stable-phone-overlay
(note: this upgrades qt to a newer version, I don't know the side effects).

Unfortunately 5.2.6 *doesn't* build with xenial qt stack, too old, so I had to tweak with an additional repo to make it at least build.

upstream has a custom-built qt version just for Ubuntu xenial, there is no known ETA for a fix, and they are currently trying to craft a patch against older virtualbox 5.0 and 5.1 packages.

There is a lot of ongoing work there, for now solutions in #32 are your best chances.

Please try my ppa with the additional qt repo, and report back! thanks
