Yes, it is actual code, and change with each new version.

AND, if the header files are in a seperate package, 
you also need to upgrade that one.

Other libraries you only have to upgrade, if they in some way depend
on the Qt library. But maybe those programmes - apt-get or synaptics - force
an upgrade of other libraries together with an upgrade of Qt.

With an upgrade of Qt5 from 5.3.1 to 5.3.2 You do not need to upgrade 
other packages, t.ex. scribus 1.5 compiled against Qt 5.3.1 runs happily
against Qt 5.3.2 without any problem.

If You by this mean .so package and dev-packages (headerfiles), 
.so packages are used for running a program, and the header files 
are used, when You compile a program.

And the dev-package MUST be the same version as the .so package.

Well :-)
now You forced me to upgrade to Qt5-5.3.2 to see what is going on, and found 
that You now actual need to declare not one but two Qt libraries in the cmake command.

This works for me:
   cmake ../Scribus -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/scribus_svn  -DWANT_GRAPHICSMAGICK=1 \
   -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-lQt5Quick -lQt5PrintSupport"

So add this to whatever cmake command You use:
   -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-lQt5Quick -lQt5PrintSupport"

before You compile, do a make clean to avoid trouble.

PS. I am doing this on slackware 14.1 64bit

Enjoy
