I have loads of programs that require Qt4 and I need to install programs that require Qt5. When I try to install Qt5 things start off dodgy and then proceed to insanity. I request friendly guidance. It's probably easiest for you to look at the terminal output directly:

The final suggestion of my attempt would remove some core things I need, so this is not an option. How might I proceed, kindly stranger?
