qml-module-qtlocation and qml-module-qtpositioning.

This is build in Launchpad, so don't really know that much of the
internals. Anyway, the build log is
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/337892249/buildlog_ubuntu-xenial-amd64.subsurface_4.6.4.839-1~xenial_BUILDING.txt.gz

Seems to be 5.5.1 on the OS. (Everything works when I build myself
against Qt 5.9.1, but this error was when testing our packages from
launchpad.)
