actually the name of the package is "qtlib".
rm -q qtlib should give something if it's installed.
When I want to find out about an rpm and I don't know the exact name
I use
rpm -qa | grep <partialnameofpackage-guess>
The -qa option queries all the installed packages, "|" is called a pipe and
it sends that huge list of all packages into the "grep" command which
searches for the text string.
So to find the real name of the qt rpms do
rpm -qa | grep qt
and i get:
qtlib-1.42-6
qtdevel-1.42-5
qtext-1.42-5
qtcompat-1.42-5

I should point out that locate depends on a database that you can regenerate
at any time by running
updatedb
which should run automatically once a day in the background
