No. The following thing happened (unfortunately):
In an attempt to clean up ktown's master ftp directories, the Debian packages
came under fire by Dirk Müller :-/ and he removed the 3.0.4 and 3.0.5
directories for i386 in woody, replacing them with symlinks in the respective
directories pointing to 3.0.5a. I didn't know that until people started to
write me that they can't retrieve the qt packages for installing 3.0.5a.
After the second mail I had a look today and discovered the mess - I had made
symlinks to the qt and kde-i18n packages from 3.0.5a to the 3.0.5
directories. This means that those package sets got erased completely and
unfortunately enough, I didn't have a backup of the whole set.
What I did now was uploading a qt set that I had that has xft enabled; which
is the cause for your update of Qt. The feature that it adds is that you can
use antialiased text fonts (mind that you need XRENDER enabled in your xfree
driver, if 4.1 doesn't work you may want to upgrade to 4.2.1 anyway, there's
woody debs available). This was the easiest way to fix this issue. The
kde-i18n packages are just copied from the 3.0.4/sid/i386/kde-i18n package
set (not much difference anway).
I'm sorry that I didn't notify anyone earlier.
