Yes, Qt4 (and the Qt3 compatability packages) are a prerequisite for KDEPIMPI.

You shouldn't need to use the red-pill mode..I never have. I've installed the normal Qt4 package. In addition, I supplied the Qt3 compatability packages (as .debs) with the KDEPIMPI tar file.

Once KDEPIMPI is packaged as a real ".deb" package, the installation will be much easier. Anyone want to give that a try?

Short of that, if someone who knows "apt-get" can replace my use of "dpkg" in the install_kdepimpi script with "apt-get" to install the compatability packages, I belive that apt will be smart enough to realize that the compatability packages require Qt4, solving the problem.
