cnr for ubuntu 7.04: http://packages.cnr.com/data/gratis/pool/c/cnr-client/0.2.3201/cnr-client_0.2.3201_i386.deb depends on libqt4-core (>= 4.3.0) , but current feisty qt package is 4.2.3-0ubuntu3.

Additionally, the Download Source Code link points to a .dsc file, no acctual src code.

What's up?

I believe you can get the correct verison of QT by using the cnr repositories or from the Gutsy repositories?


As far as the source code goes and the dsc file, I am re-posting content from the Debian Maintainers' Guide


tar.gz file:
This is the original source code tarball, merely renamed to the above so that
it adheres to the Debian standard.

dsc file:
This is a summary of the contents of the source code. The file is generated
from your `control' file, and is used when unpacking the source with<code>dpkg-source(1)</code>. This file is GPG signed, so that people can be
sure that it's really yours.

.deb file:
This is your completed binary package. You can use <code>dpkg</code> to
install and remove this just like any other package.


I hope that helps

It sure didn't work for me. The Gutsy repos or the CNR ones would not find a new enough version of libqt4-core.

As i said, i did follow the instructions, and i would never upgrade a major lib like qt from anywhere else then the distro's rep. IMO none else should either if they want a stable OS. There is no link to a tar.gz on your download page.

Btw, a dsc is useless alone for building a deb. The good stuff is supposed to be in <folder>-<version>/debian/

Everything a person needs to work with the source code for a package is listed on the specifications page:

Still looking into the QT issue

Qt 4.3 for Ubuntu is available from our servers.

1)Add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://apt2.freespire.org/ubuntu feisty-backports main restricted universe multiverse

deb-src http://apt2.freespire.org/ubuntu feisty-backports main restricted universe multiverse

(Edit) or if you prefer to get the files directly from ubuntu:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-backports main restricted universe multiverse


2)Run apt-get update


3)Run apt-cache policy libqt4-core, and you should see that 4.3.0-4ubuntu1~feisty1 will be available.

Step 3, sub-Step 4 of the instructions:

Uncomment (remove the # sign) the following two lines to add software
from the backports repository.

restricted universe multiverse
restricted universe multiverse
