Since Qt4 has been removed from all future releases there will be no such thing as a backport in this case, because there is nothing to backport *from*. (It would be a forward-port, but there is no such thing for Debian.) But you normally can just install the old library DEBs, for example by getting them from snapshot.debian.org. You won't get any security or other support for them. Or you can create a chroot from an older Debian release still containing Qt4 to run the old software. Unless the kernel changes in an incompatible way, this should work for some time. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.
