this is very strange.  qlistview.h is (first off) in the -dev package...and
(secondly) wasn't in /usr/lib/qt2/ .

Here's the thing...all of the files that were in libqt2.2 before are in
the same location ( minus also being in /usr/lib/qt2/lib)  So the only problems
that the difference in packaging would cause is if the application hardcoded
it's link to /usr/lib/qt2/lib/libqt.so.2  which is against policy.
