But this is a different thing. 1.x -> 2.x is a big change in Qt.
Major version number was changed because 1.x and 2.x are not
binary nor source compatible. When installing 2.x versions of Qt,
you shouldn't install them over the old ones. The first KDE version
to use Qt 2.0 will be KDE 2.0 and it'll take quite some time before
it is released (the next release will be 1.1.2). So you still need
to have Qt 1.xx runtime libs and include files.
Btw; Qt 2.x packages even include a script, which converts 1.x based
source code to 2.x compatible code... So Trolltech really takes these
things seriously.
