this is very strange. qlistview.h is (first off) in the -dev package...and (secondly) wasn't in /usr/lib/qt2/ . > Maybe libqt2.2 2.2.4 should conflict with all the kapps compiled with > libqt2.2 << 2.2.4? > > Just a thought/observance from here. Here's the thing...all of the files that were in libqt2.2 before are in the same location ( minus also being in /usr/lib/qt2/lib) So the only problems that the difference in packaging would cause is if the application hardcoded it's link to /usr/lib/qt2/lib/libqt.so.2 which is against policy.
