Updated quassel packages fix CVE-2013-4422

Updated quassel packages fix security vulnerability:

Quassel IRC before 0.9.1 is vulnerable to SQL injection if used with Qt 4.8.5, due to a change in Qt's postgres driver, allowing other IRC users to trick the Quassel core into executing SQL queries (CVE-2013-4422).

This update provides Quassel 0.9.1, which fixes this and several other issues.
