Hi,

I was trying to install qt4.4. I downloaded all the deb files from
Launchpad site of Intrepid by guessing it will work but after running
dpkg -i *, it didn't end the process because i was using  hardy and most
probably i needed some other deb. So i added intrepid repo to my sources
list and ran apt-get update by hoping it will fix. But i still get the
same message after running apt-get -f install:

The thing if i remove the intrepid repo line from sources.list, this
time apt-get -f install says the soultion is removing nearly 7GB file :)

I tried to remove those qt4 packaged but it was not possible with
apt-get remove.

Any solution for this situation?
