The qt-config utility (the one with which you could "switch" between qt3 and qt4) recently vanished. Is there a known definite solution to this problem, i.e. a way to set EXACTLY the same states/variables/symlinks/whatever that were set with "qt-config qt" and "qt-config qt4"?
And by the way, why was qt-config removed?

Are you having problems with ugly VirtualBox, Opera and other qt applications too?

Perhaps there is a misunderstanding. The utility to configure the look&feel of QT is qtconfig, without the dash. It is still in the distro. What vanished is qt-config, a utility that sets up build environment for compiling QT programs. AFAIK it has nothing to do with running applications.

I was about to compile something under QT4 and on checking $QTDIR found it pointing to /opt/qt ie QT3. Went to use qt-config to change the profile and not only found that the script is now missing but also the qt4.sh profile has changed to the single line "export QMAKESPEC=linux-g++".
I note that there are 2 repository entries for the package QT, one is 3.3.8-5 in extra and the other is 4.3.2-3 in testing.
Can anyone explain what is happening at the moment regarding QT3 and QT4?

Because KDE 4.0 is just around the corner, qt4 from [community] will be moved to [extra] as qt. qt (3.3.8) will then be renamed to qt3 (still in [extra]).

As for the QT4 compilation, you won't need the qt-config anymore because qt4 is the "default" qt.
$ which qmake
/usr/bin/qmake
$ qmake -v
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.3.2 in /usr/lib
For Qt4 compilation:
source /etc/profile.d/qt4.sh
qmake (I explicitly use the /usr/bin prefix though)
make
...
For Qt3:
source /etc/profile.d/qt.sh
${QTDIR}/bin/qmake
make
...

trivial note: isn't it a bit incoherent to have /etc/profile.d/qt4.sh for qt4 and /etc/profile.d/qt.sh for qt3, while the packages are renamed to 'qt' for qt4 and 'qt3' for qt3?
To know recursion, you must first know recursion.

Those packages are still in [testing]
