Ash—

In looking at what the base repo has to offer, I do not see qt5-qtwebkit listed.  So, that’s a problem.

What I recommend is to install the qt5 packages to meet dependencies for Myth from the repo which has them and new enough, which is epel, as 5.6.2 is sufficient, and then turn the base repo back on when needed.  OR, find a repo which has the version of qt5-qtwebkit which you need to satisfy the requirements of what base repo has, enable that repo, and install…  or find the correct RPM, and use yum to install the RPM so yum has a record of the RPM.  Decisions, decisions...

There are several ways of skinning the cat here, but what feels more comfortable for you is what matters, really.  The main thing is that you won’t be running “yum upgrade” until the packages all get updated to at least a version where everything exists and is version-coherent.

Using EL for myth does carry its share of issues, and this happens to be one of them.  I use CentOS for Myth predominantly, and for other things, and I get the system functioning and don’t upgrade it very much.  As they say: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.  ;)

Good luck.

Mike
