qtcups_2.0-4

[john gennard <joney@clara.co.uk>]

I run Potato 2.2 r3 on a PC with a 2.2.18 kernel, and have
tried to install the above using 'apt-get source -b qtcups' ( I 
have a 'deb-src http' in my sources.list). This failed, ending with 
the following error message:-

Is there sufficient information above to give some clue as to what 
has gone wrong?  Grateful for any assistance.

John. 

PS.
I also tried to get an installation from source ( for qtcups-1.2) 
which I downloaded form SourceForge. This also failed and I've
posted separately about this.
