[SOLVED] Qt FATAL: Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x50701

After an upgrade, I was hitting this error when trying to run any qt5 app.  I got them working again by downgrading some packages, but maybe someone could shed light on why it happened in the first place.  Just some packages waiting for updates, maybe?

EDIT: As V1del points out below, this is not a solution.  See below for the real solution.

In case it helps someone with the same error, here are the steps I took to get qt5 apps working again.

1. Identify conflicting packages.

pacman -Ss | grep installed
extra/pyqt5-common 5.7.1-3 [installed]
extra/python-pyqt5 5.7.1-3 [installed]
extra/qt5-base 5.8.0-2 (qt qt5) [installed]
extra/qt5-script 5.8.0-1 (qt qt5) [installed]
extra/qt5-svg 5.8.0-1 (qt qt5) [installed]
extra/qt5-x11extras 5.8.0-1 (qt qt5) [installed]

Notice the packages with versions 5.8.x conflict with those with versions 5.7.x. 

Find matching packages in your cache with the same major version numbers

ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg/*qt5*

Downgrade the corresponding packages.  In my case, it was.

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/qt5-base-5.7.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/qt5-script-5.7.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/qt5-svg-5.7.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/qt5-x11extras-5.7.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Now my qt5 apps work again!

I'm pretty sure that pacman -Syyu will re-introduce the same problem, but hopefully there will be 5.8.x packages for all soon.

Downgrading packages is not a solution: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … nsupported

Please post your pacman.conf, pacman.log, and the output of

pacman -Qm

Re: [SOLVED] Qt FATAL: Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x50701

All packages in the repos have been rebuilt for 5.8 compatibility. This includes those pyqt5 packages (they haven't had an official upstream release yet,  but were patched as necessary) What hasn't been updated automatically are AUR packages and especially problematic if you use e.g. a QT5 theme. You should rebuild any AUR packages depending on QT5.

Re: [SOLVED] Qt FATAL: Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x50701

As expected, you built qt5-styleplugins before the upgrade to QT 5.8 Update all repo packages and then rebuild qt5-styleplugins (don't just reinstall the package, make a proper new build)

Re: [SOLVED] Qt FATAL: Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x50701

Like a charm!!  Ignorance wouldn't have fixed this one.

sudo pacman -Rsn qt5-styleplugins
sudo pacman -Syyu

I use aurget to build/install aur packages

aurget -S qt5-styleplugins

Everything works perfectly now.  Thank you, V1del !
