Hello, i just switched from fedora to Ultimate Edition to try it out and love it so far but i have one issue that makes me unable to use the OS right now.. I use an older software that depends on libqt3-mt-dev but when i try to install that package usint apt-get i get this:
Reading package lists... Done

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libqt3-mt-dev : Depends: libcups2-dev but it is not going to be installed

So if i try to install libcups2-dev i get:

I have tried apt-get install -f to cleanup things and apt-get update and all that.. for about 3 hours now to get this working.. does anyone know what could be causing this? or what logs i could post that might help?
P.S. im not super linux savy, i know enough to just get things working so any help in laymans terms would be great, thank you much
