No probs:

As root, in X-Terminal:

Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install qtwrt
will solve all your problems. If it fails to find the package, you have not configured your apt sources (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list) properly.

Compare the following with mine and see if there are any differences:

Code:
Nokia-N900:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# cat hildon-application-manager.list 
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/ ./
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/mr0/ ./
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle1.2/ovi/ ./
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle-1.3 free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ fremantle free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle free non-free
Nokia-N900:/etc/apt/sources.list.d#
Goes without saying that for extras-testing and particularly extras-devel (you need the latter for qtwrt) that "here be dragons" but you bit the bullet when you got an N900 and it's better to burn out than to fade away.

I would recommend Faster Application Manager, if you are not comfortable with using the shell, apt tools and superuser privs.
