Do you can resolve this issue? Why you can't use QCA_SUFFIX? I give you all tools to install qca and qca-qt5 in parallel. Just use them. And don't argue with me.

And packagers are the people that deal with these things every single day; they get the stuff you create to users. They know the best. There's nothing to argue. If anyone should not argue, it's you with them, really.

Well I wasn't aware of that review request, but even if i was, what's the reason to be impolite and say "don't argue with me"? Anyway, i'm not interested in discussing with impolite people. Enjoy!
