Same here.
I've sent a couple of e-mails to the maintainer of the package telling him
that I'm willing to help if he needs help, but I haven't received any answer
from him so far.
My question is: can I contact anybody else? What is the proper procedure in
this kind of situations?
Toshiro.
I looked around on the web and found krusader_1.20-1_i386.deb on the
Krusader homepage and krusader_1.25-beta1-1+cvs20030822+orth_i386.deb on
apt-get.org.
The first one tells me:
krusader depends on libqt3-mt (>= 3:3.1.2); however:
Package libqt3-mt is not installed.
If I try to install this package, apt tells me:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
ark k3b kate kate-plugins kcontrol kdelibs-bin kdelibs4 kdesktop kdm
kfind kmines konqueror kpackage krename ksnapshot ksokoban ksysv
kuser libarts1 libk3bcore1 libkdegames1 libkonq4 libqt3c102-mt
mysqlcc
Which is obviously not what I want.
The second one tells me:
krusader depends on kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.2.0); however:
Version of kdelibs4 on system is 4:3.1.4-3.
Which doesn't get me anywhere either.
I guess the fact that the version in Debian is rather old may have
something to do with these dependencies.

Felix
