You should be careful how you use equivs, rad the documentation!

It's not intended to bypass genuine package incompatiblilities, You should
only use it where a package has changed name...
apt-get will say something like package foo cannot be found, but this has
been replaced by package bar (can't remember the exact wording).

If you use it to bypass incompatibilities you will really screw up your
system.

looking at my libqt3 packages, I have the following installed:

# dpkg -l 'libqt*' | grep '^i' | more
ii  libqt3                 3.3.4-7        Qt GUI Library, Version 3
ii  libqt3-compat-headers  3.3.5-1        Qt 1.x and 2.x compatibility
includes
ii  libqt3-headers         3.3.5-1        Qt3 header files
ii  libqt3-mt              3.3.5-1        Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime
version), V
ii  libqt3-mt-dev          3.3.5-1        Qt development files (Threaded)
ii  libqt3-mt-mysql        3.3.5-1        MySQL database driver for Qt3
(Threaded)


You might want to CAREFULLY uninstall what you have and start again,
installing only the qt3 packages you actually need on your system.

Also, be aware that the qt3 paths and libraries registration is often
broken , so you may need to patch up your /etc/profile and
/etc/ld.so.conf, then do :
#source /etc/profile
#ldconfig


Good luck!
