JUNK packages are intentionally not downloadable via FTP as they are broken already from a packaging point of view. One usually cannot even _built_ a corresponding binary package. That's why they are declared JUNK. They are only available from the OpenPKG CVS. So, in other use those (currently about 20 packages of this class) one really has to put some development efforts into them and for this one establishes an OpenPKG development environment and this way have access to the CVS resources anyway. See http://www.openpkg.org/development/environment.php for a little tutorial on how to establish such an development environment. If you have this established, you can simply roll the above kde-qt-3.3.6-20061020.src.rpm file by doing "openpkg dev; cd kde-qt; opd fe; opd bs". PS: If you need Qt, just use the regular "qt" package. This should work just fine. If you want KDE, do yourself a favor and use some native packages of the OS vendor. KDE is such a beast that it worked just once in the past and on every upgrade our KDE packages were broken again. That's why we stopped putting efforts into them some time ago and hence the packages over the time went into JUNK status. Let me be fully open: OpenPKG is mainly about server computing, so for us it doesn't matter and hence please do not expect that someone picks up these OpenPKG KDE packages and fixes them... Ralf S.
