Don't know if it will be faster,but if you don't get a proper answer
,you may
try the shotgun approach :
download the libqt2.2-gl....deb ,open it with mc ,go in contents and
copy
over the files in their respective directories overwriting the ones from
libqt.2.2 .Now this is very ugly but has the advantage of being quick
and not screwing the package manager .Obviously keep a copy of the
original deb so if you
suddenly get into problems you can redo what you've done.:-)
This will be the last resort and I'll wait a bit for the proper
solution.Obviously you should check the dependencies of each package and
make sure they're met.
You could also recompile both(dpkg-buildpackage) ,playing with the
header files of each package but it's more trouble than it's worth in
this case.
