Is libqt4-opengl available and in the repos? Correct version is available?

Yes. I don't know.

Well it looks like you've made the infamous noobish mistake of mixing repositories and in doing so have broken your dependency chain.

You can run linux deepin which is based on Ubuntu 13.04, or Debian Wheezy which is not binary compatible and roughly 1 - 2 years older, but not both at the same time.

Which system did you start out with and which did you add later on?

 

[bashcommando]

Debian 7

 

[curtaintwitcher]

You need to forcibly remove the deepin stuff and then dist-upgrade the system.

Do not change your sources.list yet.

Post the output of the following:

$ aptitude search '?narrow(?origin(packages.linuxdeepin.com), ~i)'

 

[bashcommando]

Know what? I'll just get linux mint and make sure not to do such a foolish thing again. Thanks for all your help and I'll at least know what to do.
