[plug] Help with KDE and Qt1g

[Andrew Marsh]

Can anyone help, maybe...

Trying to install KDE on a system running Debian slink.
It won't install using dpkg saying that kdelibs2g depends on
qt1g, which it says is equal to qt-1.42-1.  I've downloaded and
installed qt-1.42-1 from www.troll.no without a hitch, checked
and rechecked the environment variables and even tried copying
all the qt library files into /usr/X11R6/lib.  To no avail.

As far as I can see, qt-1.42-1 is only available as a tar file, not
as as a deb package.  I assume that simply installing it will not
update the dpkg dependancy database.  How can I do this if
all you can get is a tar archive?

It says on the Qt web site that it is included in the Debian
distribution, but it doesn't seem to appear in the dselect list or
anywhere on the slink cd that I can see.  Scanning the Packages
file shows up only libqtheads a couple of times but that's it.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
