It seems that qt4 and qt5 devel packages don't happily coexist.  After 
running *both* these ansible-playbook commands my old qt4-based 0.28-pre 
srpm wouldn't rebuild, and attempts at a qt5-based build failed too - 
both well before the package-building stage.  The old srpm rebuilt after 
I had removed the qt5 devel packages.

After uninstalling the qt4 devel packages, and reinstalling qt5 devel, 
my revised specfile has now delivered what appears to be a full set of 
MythTV el7 rpms from the current master tarball, and a rebuild of the 
el7 srpm appears to have worked in f22 too.  I'm intending to install 
and try the f22 packages first.  Hold tight....

Thanks,
