Issue installing dooble. lupdate could not exec

Hello,

I'm trying to install dooble from the AUR.

I'm attempting to download the dooble-qt4 package and it isn't allowing me to, because once it gets to installing dooble, it attempts to access /usr/lib/qt//bin/lupdate.
I went ahead and installed qt4, but it looks like that went ahead an mapped to /usr/lib/qt4.

I was wondering if I installed qt4 incorrectly - should I have specified /usr/lib/qt upon install? - or do I need to add an environmental variable ( I added QTDIR per http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/6.3/x/qt.html, without any result)?

Thank you in advance!

How are you trying to install the package? Give the exact commands.

Moving to AUR issues.

`pacman -Fo /usr/lib/qt/bin/lupdate` would have told you it is owned by qt5-tools.

I assume that package doesn't know how to handle a distro that defaults to qt5?

Moving to AUR issues.

I was using 'yaourt dooble' and then option 3 for 'dooble-qt4'

`pacman -Fo /usr/lib/qt/bin/lupdate` would have told you it is owned by qt5-tools.

I assume that package doesn't know how to handle a distro that defaults to qt5?

It looks like this did fix my issue, thank you!

Now, it is failing to download libspoton from SourceForge, however. Even executing 'yaourt libspoton' fails.
Looks like I will have to get that from SourceForge myself and build it.

Thank you for the help!
