Dpkg Error

[Jvaldezjr]

Recently this package (libqt3-mt) was updated in the repsositories, however when I tried to upgrade, I received this error message, and the package seems to be broken

How can I correct this, or at least let the person who uploaded it know there seems to be a problem?

Have tried to clean local package archives ? (removing broken package and downloading new package):

Bug description [edit]

Binary package hint: libqt3-mt

I deceided to triboot with Debian unstable and I decided to go and grab the kde-systemsettings package from ubuntu because I happen to like it better than kcontrol. Turns out I can't install because someone decided to messup the version number of this package.
"The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kde-systemsettings: Depends: libqt3-mt (>= 3:3.3.8really3.3.7) but 3:3.3.7-9 is to be installed
E: Broken packages"
so why hasn't this been caught and fixed, its the same version even in the hardy repos.
