Unfortunately fixing this would be causing true regressions in at least ktexteditor and pyqt5:

Since 16.10 release is coming closer, I think the set of these three patches (that remove a symbol among else) is too risky. The fix would eventually be in Qt 5.7 in Ubuntu 17.04, unless of course a less invasive fix could be had for 16.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to qtbase-opensource-src in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1620173 Title: Qt5 5.6 regression: conversion from QVariant to QString is broken Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: A regression was introduced in Qt5 5.5 - fixed in 5.7 - whereas conversion from QVariant to QString is broken for double and float values (you can see more details on this here: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-47192). The patch fixing this issue is the following: http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/patch/src/corelib/tools/qlocale.h?id=726fed0d67013cbfac7921d3d4613ca83406fb0f Would it be possible to apply this patch against the package (based on Qt5 5.6.1) Ubuntu 16.10 will ship in October? It's a pretty ugly bug, which needs addressing. Hopefully the Qt devs can eventually merge this patch onto their 5.6 LTS branch.
