FTR: There is no Qt4 port of ORSA and the current version in Debian is already more than five years old. I haven't asked upstream, but it seems that his top priority currently is orbit@home [1]. After the release of Squeeze I will therefore ask for the removal of ORSA from Debian. I'm also not aware of any alternatives. - Frank [1] http://orbit.psi.edu/
