apt-get dependency problem (with skype)
I'm on a kubuntu (breezy) box.
I installed skype (using dpkg). It had a dependency on libqt that I had to force it to skip, because the libqt installed here has another name.. in other workds, it's OK, but apt-get thinks there's a missing dependancy.... so, I asked for apt-get upgrade and it says it has to remove skype.
What can I do to keep this from happening?

But it's not a file missing dependency.... but a package dependency.
Code:
skype: Depends: libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.3.2) but it's not installable
That precise package is not in the repositories... but libqt3-mc... which is already installed.

I don't know about apt. But I tttthink it is a problem of the search-path. You have to find out how apt check
for pachages

More precisely build from source changing the Depends line in the control file located in the debian directory of the unpacked source.

I made a mistake , it was not a source code , I downloaded "Static binary tar.bz2 with Qt 3.2 compiled in" from the site
I don't have any trouble with it
But with .deb package , I have the same dependency problem
Regards
