Hi, Just to have it here, too: I submitted a brand spanking new version of libqtm-12 to extras (1.2.0+git20111104-0nd~fremantle5, in practice this is almost 1.2.1). Now, this is a completely differently packaged libqtm-12 as the previous one, so I fully expect some breakage (reports of it welcome). On the flip side, the way I'm doing things should make it possible for applications depending on it not to trip over each other and avoid promotion deadlocks. This release will also be the migration path for apps depending on libqtm-11, which I will kill with fire in the not so distant future as it crossed the point of no return unmaintainability-wise (is that a word?) and are not completely binary compatible with 1.2 anyway. The key message here is: *DEPEND ON libqtm-12. DO NOT DEPEND ON SPECIFIC libqtm-12-* MODULES. DO NOT DEPEND ON libqtm-11* *Gritty details: the way HAM treats dependencies and the way we promote packages is not suited for 'normally' packaged libraries in deb/rpm repos, and seems that is so old that it doesn't handle Replaces: properly, much less Breaks:. Therefore, all the libraries have been moved to one master package, so that the incremental update/upgrade path can be maintained. Same applies for the -dev package.
