Bug Description
Currently Qt 4 has been dead upstream and we are starting to have problems maintaining it, like for example in the OpenSSL 1.1 support case.
Following in the footsteps of Debian[1], all packages directly or indirectly depending on qt4-x11 (like this one) must either get ported to Qt 5 and uploaded to the development release or get removed (by means of demotion to -proposed or removal of the package) before the 19.04 release. If it is possible to port your package by the 18.10 release, please do so.
If you have any questions about porting or this transition, please ask in #ubuntu-qt (preferred) or directly ping me

ScottK> tsimonq2: All the plasma-widget-* packages are broken and can be removed if there's not a Kf5 version available. I'd recommend reviewing that subset and either packaging a Kf5 based update if there is one or filing removal bugs if there isn't. If the package is also in Debian, please file the rm bug in Debian (and it'll automatically get removed in Ubuntu after it's removed in Debian).
I agree with this. Please remove it.
