Package: qt4-demos
Version: 4:4.7.3-1
Severity: normal
I ran qtdemo and selected the Demonstrations -> Browser -> Launch
Result: A dialog titled "Failed to launch the example", containing the text
"Could not launch the example. Ensure that it has been built."
Looking at the source, it appears that this is a QML application.
When I tried to run it directly with qmlviewer, I discovered that qmlviewer
is not installed.
According to Debians package search / package contents web site,
no package contains qmlviewer.

Version: 4:4.8.7+dfsg-20+rm
src:qt4-x11 was last released with Debian 10 (buster)
in July 2019 and has been removed from the Debian archive afterwards.
It has been superseded by newer versions.
See https://bugs.debian.org/953294 for details on the removal.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
