Re: Can someone answer this? (qt1g problem)
I'm pretty sure the packages would have to me modified. To get around it,
you'll have to manually install the packages uses dpkg --force-depends.
Unfortunately, anytime you upgrade packages, dselect will want to remove
those packages because they have unmet dependencies (atleast apt will).
This is something that I think we should get on the kde people to fix.
It's a minor change.
