I went through a great deal of suffering on my CentOS 6 systems before 
figuring this out while upgrading from Myth 0.24 to 0.27.4. The SCrpms 
qt48 packages will co-exist with the system qt packages but they will 
*not* coexist with the older ATrpms qt46 and qt47 packages. I tried to 
leave the older packages installed so I could perform the Myth upgrade 
and then just fire off the new Myth. Nope. You need to remove the older 
QT packages.

It is confusing that the older and newer qt packages will install with 
one another. However, you will receive namespace errors when running 
Myth 0.27.4.
