[mythtv-users] Re:Newbie dependency install issue

[Travis]

I ran # apt-get install qt=3.1.1-6 and received a message about downgrading
one package.  I accepted and then rebooted.  The X environment I came back
to had just a single terminal window.  Thanks again for your help.

That wouldn't be qt version 1.3.1.1-6, it would be 3.1.1-6. 
Unfortunately, I have no clue why you're getting this error. What do 
you get for results with this command: 

# apt-cache policy mythtv-suite

You don't get around dependencies, you satisfy them. :) We'll see what 
we can figure out...
