You will not be able to use this package with etch. libqt3c102-mt is the version of the Qt library for a now-obsolete C++ ABI. > - Can I safely install this package by adding a Sarge-depository to my > /etc/X11/sources.list -file?

It is possible to install libqt3c102-mt from sarge, but it will conflict with libqt3-mt from etch, so you won't be able to install any other Qt-using packages (like KDE) while you have this Skype package installed. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
