Description:
I wish to install KDE4. The forum pointed me to tardo's repository where corresponding packages are hosted. Unfortunately, I always run into dependency problems with the KDE4 packages because they require qt4. On my system, the package qt provides only qt while, according to tardo, it should also provide qt4 as well.


Additional info:
* qt version: 4.3.3-4
* pacman output:
[15:37:37]|[root@icebird]|/home/andi$ pacman -S kde4
:: group kde4 (including ignored packages):
decibel kdeaccessibility4 kdeadmin4 kdeartwork4 kdebase4 kdeedu4 kdegames4 kdegraphics4 kdelibs4
kdemultimedia4 kdenetwork4 kdepimlibs4 kdesdk4 kdetoys4 kdeutils4 kdewebdev4 qimageblitz-svn

error: cannot resolve "qt4", a dependency of "kdelibs4"
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdelibs4: requires qt4

* Correspondig forum thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=323682#p323682 (Start on page 19)

Steps to reproduce:
- Install Archlinux from scratch
- Activate tardo's repository in pacman.conf
- Install qt
- Try installing KDE4 from tardo's repo and be presented with a nice dependecy error :)

Imho this is a pacman and not a package bug. Pacman should notice that the dependency qt4 is satified with qt4=4.3.3.

Upgrading pacman to version 3.1.1-1 seems to fix the problem
