  DJ> You need the Qt4 packages from Etch:

  DJ> apt-get install libqt4-core=4.2.1
  DJ> apt-get install libqt4-gui=4.2.1

Well, I've included the -dev packages of our backported qt4 in the
testing repository so now it should be possible to install it by
issuing:

apt-get install libqt4-dev=4.1.4-1.64studio1 libqt4-sql=4.1.4-1.64studio1 libqt4-qt3support=4.1.4-1.64studio1

(just make sure that the testing repository is on).

Later I'll fix the apt preferences so that it won't be necessary to
explicitly indicate the version numbers.

I strongly recommend to not do it, otherwise we will not be able to
support your system anymore, as it will be Debian/testing rather than
64studio/etch.

Ciao!
