problem with pvbrowser packaged .deb #29

Hi!

I've been trying out your binaries of the web for a while, and I've found the Xenial Qt4 version doesn't work. it depends of obsolete libqt4-webkit and it doesn't exist anymore.

changing it dependency to libqtwebkit4 does the trick.

I tell you here, because I don't know the correct communication channel, and so, also, perhaps can help someone reading.

cheers, and thanks for the project!

On our webpage we provide binaries below "Download the qt5 version" and below "Download the qt4 version"

The difference is that the qt5 version uses qtwebengine (google blink) where the qt4 version uses qtwebkit (apple webkit).

Qt dropped qtwebkit around version Qt 5.6

Modern systems should always use the qt5 version now. The qt4 version is now deprecated, since Qt made the switch from qtwebkit to qtwebengine.

hi!

totally true, problem is Xenial (ubuntu 16.04) is already stable and in production in some equipments. And QT5 version doesn't work there because its version seems to lack some libraries. (in fact there is no QT5 version packaged for Xenial) QT4 version is needed, and asks for deprecated libqt4-webkit but Xenial packages libqtwebkit4 instead.

I can, of course, be wrong, but I modified the .deb dependencies and now could be installed.

cheers
