I installed it and it seems to be behaving normally. My immediate reaction is that there is something wrong with the version of qtcups in unstable. Suggestion: try to compile the version of qtcups in woody and see how it goes. Packages in unstable are often buggy and are generally best avoided. For example, I could not even build the cups in unstable, though the cups in testing compiled with no problem (and this definitely was not a dependencies issue). If you find the version of qtcups in testing builds with no problem I suggest filing a bug report against the version in unstable. If this still does not work, note that I used versions of qt from debian.kde.net ie ii libqt-dev 2.3.0-final-0. Qt GUI development headers, static libraries ii libqt2 2.3.0-final-0. Qt GUI Library (runtime version). Put deb http://kde.debian.net potato main crypto optional in sources.list, refresh, and try getting libqt-dev. But I doubt this is the problem. Let me know how it goes. Faheem.
