I'm trying to install a driver for the Epson SX440. I've downloaded the .deb from: http://openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-SX440_Series but it needs lsb installed. I'm on 10.04, and I go to install lsb 4.0. But that needs libqt4-gui installed. I have the rest of libqt4 at 4.7.0, but libqt4-gui apparently changed its name to libqtgui4 at that version. Since lsb can't find libqt4-gui, it refuses to install, and so I can't install the printer.

What would be the best thing to do here - should I downgrade libqt4 to 4.6.3 (how do I do that?), or is there some way to tell lsb that it can actually find libqt4-gui under the new name of libqtgui4?

Thanks.

libqt4-gui is still available in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It's a "transitional package", which means it doesn't provide any files, and depends on the newly named packages. It exists primarily to ensure the newly named packages get installed when upgrading. But you should still be able to install it.

sudo apt-get update
sudp apt-get install libqt4-gui

If that doesn't work, please comment to indicate what happened.

  • Yes, I'd tried that, but I get: Depends: libqtgui4 (=4:4.6.3-0ubuntu1) but 4:4.7.0-0ubuntu2~lucid1~ppa1 is to be installed. The name was changed from 4.7.0, and the rest of libqt4 is at 4.7.0 on this machine. That was why I was wondering if I need to downgrade libqt4.

  • @donnek Are you intentionally using a PPA to provide QT? Apr 25, 2012 at 0:30
  • Hi Eliah - Indeed, it looks like it has come in from a PPA, but I don't know which one. Using the script at github.com/fab1an/unix-admin-tools/blob/master/dpkg-origins just says "not found in any repository", so I don't know which one to purge. :-(
