Bug#756302: qtchooser breaks many many existing configuration scripts.
Package: qtchooser
Version: 39-g4717841-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
since I installed qtchooser, *every* project that uses qt has been
broken. The reason for that is that they run 'qmake' in order to
find out if it exists (and/or for an other query), but the 'qmake'
that is found (in the PATH) is (obviously) /usr/bin/qmake, which
is a symlink to qtchooser, which exits with an error (error code 1):
$ qmake
qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such file or directory
$ echo $?
1
which then results in the configure script of that project to abort.
It doesn't seem an option to install whatever provides
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake because that wants to delete half
of my (64bit) OS.
