So, I foolishly upgraded to KDE 4.3 without checking whether anything was being removed, and sure enough, a rather crucial piece of software (Quanta Plus) is now gone due to dependency problems.
Quanta is badly lacking in developers, and so isn't likely to be updated any time soon. Does anyone know of a workaround to get it playing nicely with KDE 4.3?
I'm thinking that an option that might be very inadvisable in theory but may work in practice would be to download the deb and mess with its dependency information. The three packages that are causing the problem don't look terribly intimidating (klinkstatus, kfilereplace, kommander) - are they likely to have changed considerably from KDE 3 to KDE 4? Would changing the dependency information in the quanta deb really screw up the operation of the software in some way?
I've looked at some of the potential alternatives (Bluefish, Kompozer), but they don't even come close in terms of project handling from what I can tell.
Can anyone give me any suggestions?
