I finally resorted to creating a new user and doing nothing but logging in and immediately starting Ubuntu SDK upon first login. That worked like a champ.
So, now I'm trying to see what leftover stuff in my regular account could be messing things up. I did a comparison of the files in the virgin account with the one I use regularly, and didn't see anything particularly onerous -- after eliminating all of the "^Binary" and "^Only in original" lines from the diff. As for your (Timo's) suggestion, from the command line all went well and quickly $ bzr branch lp:poppler-qml-plugin Branched 10 revisions. $ cd poppler-qml-plugin/ $ qmake $ # qmake came back lickity-split with no errors. $ qmake --version QMake version 3.0 Using Qt version 5.0.2 in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall qt5-qmake Reading package lists...
