Bug#756302: qtchooser breaks many many existing configuration scripts.
Package: qtchooser Version: 39-g4717841-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, since I installed qtchooser, *every* project that uses qt has been broken. The reason for that is that they run 'qmake' in order to find out if it exists (and/or for an other query), but the 'qmake' that is found (in the PATH) is (obviously) /usr/bin/qmake, which is a symlink to qtchooser, which exits with an error (error code 1): $ qmake qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such file or directory $ echo $? 1 which then results in the configure script of that project to abort. It doesn't seem an option to install whatever provides /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake because that wants to delete half of my (64bit) OS. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages qtchooser depends on: ii libc6 2.18-4 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libstdc++6 4.9.0-7 qtchooser recommends no packages.

For a part of it, the real bug, is what #712264 Does not depends on the binaries it masks is about. I'm so merging this bug with the aforementioned one. Sadly this is wontfix. Now let's take a look at the other part of your report. If qtchooser is looking for /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake is because you might have qt4:i386 stuff installed. Run qtchooser -l to see which configurations you have at hand. If you want to build qt4 stuff on amd64 you need libqt4-dev:amd64 installed. This part is definitely not a bug but part of what qtchooser does. Feel free to ask in debian-...@lists.debian.org or in #debian-kde if in doubt.
