Bug Description

When the package libqscintilla2-designer (package version 2.8.1-2) is installed in Trusty, QT4 designer fails to launch with the following message:

designer-qt4: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/plugins/designer/libqscintillaplugin.so: undefined symbol: _ZN13QsciScintillaC1EP7QWidget

The exact same problem has been reported on archlinux too : https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39672

[Impact]
 * qscintilla2 plugin for designer is unusable without fix

[Test Case]

 * Install the plugin.
 * Start Qt designer
 * See the error above
 * Install the updated package
 * Start Qt designer
 * See no error

[Regression Potential]

 * Regression risk is negligible

[Other Info]

 * In addition to Arch, this issue has been seen on Debian as well. In all cases, a rebuild was claimed to be enough to fix it, but it turned out to be a linker error.

Hello Renaud, or anyone else affected,
