Others have had trouble with 3.0.5 as well.  It may have been an overly 
hasty release.

It should be there somewhere.  AFAIK, relying on it is nothing new.
what does "pkg-config --libs QtNetwork" say?

There's a lot of weird crap in there.  Did you clean out the old SCons 
files when switching?  I think all bets are off when you switch versions 
without doing so.

In a git repo, the easiest and most effective way to clean is to do "git 
clean -dxf".  Or -dxn if you want to look before you leap.
