Bug Description

Currently Qt 4 has been dead upstream and we are starting to have problems maintaining it, like for example in the OpenSSL 1.1 support case.

Following in the footsteps of Debian[1], all packages directly or indirectly depending on qt4-x11 (like this one) must either get ported to Qt 5 and uploaded to the development release or get removed (by means of demotion to -proposed or removal of the package) before the 19.04 release. If it is possible to port your package by the 18.10 release, please do so.

If you have any questions about porting or this transition, please ask in #ubuntu-qt (preferred) or directly ping me

Original author here. There won't be any porting to Qt5 as there is no active development anymore, so I guess it is best to remove this package from Debian and Ubuntu. Thanks!

It's too late for bionic but I'll remove it from cosmic. It had a reverse-recommends on debian-games which I just removed - once it's published I will proceed with the package removal.
