Unfortunately there is. The KDE 3.2.0 woody backport of Ralph Nolden conflicts here. He had to backport qt 3.2.x for the KDE and this one is compiled against the woody libfreetype6 2.0.9. Running libfreetype6 2.1.7 results in usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3: undefined symbol: FT_Seek_Stream e.g. see http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2004/debian-kde-200402/msg00083.html __ /oby
