I am moving this to devel, because this problem is of a more principal nature.

I now removed qt, qt-shlibs and installed qt3, qt3-shlibs. The next
package that depends on qt-shlibs breaks again, because

The following 2 additional packages will be installed:
 qt qt-shlibs
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] 
dpkg -i 
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11/qt-shlibs_3.0.3-3_darwin-powerpc.deb
dpkg: regarding .../qt-shlibs_3.0.3-3_darwin-powerpc.deb containing qt-shlibs:
 qt3-shlibs conflicts with qt-shlibs
  qt-shlibs (version 3.0.3-3) is to be installed.
dpkg: error processing
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11/qt-shlibs_3.0.3-3_darwin-powerpc.deb
 (--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing qt-shlibs

So it seems that while the qt-shlibs package is still around, the
virtual qt-shlibs that is provided by qt3-shlibs is not taken into account.

My question is: Are qt and qt-shlibs supposed to live in parallel with
qt3 qnd qt3-shlibs or are the latter meant as an incompatible complete
replacement? If this is true, then the qt-3.0.3 package descriptions
should be removed.
