Anikhet,

it looks like you should have searched for pkgbase in arch wiki.

Check https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#pkgbase and follow 
the links to understand what kind of package adwaita-qt is.


I suggest you split into two separate packages, adwaita-qt5 and 
adwaita-qt4 or just adwaita-qt5 .

Post a fixed comment on the adwaita-qt aur page that you're separating them.

Wait a few weeks to give people the chance to switch , then submit  a 
deletion request for adwaita-qt .
