Hi, the package was not built for 8.10, but I believe it can be (for
8.04, it was not possible due to the requirement of libqt4-gl package
which did not exist back then). I can upload the package for building in
8.10, but not until in a few days.

What you can do is build the package yourself, it is fairly easy once
you have the external repository added, including source packages
however (!) (from the top of my head, there might be typos etc):

$ sudo apt-get build-dep libqglviewer-qt3-dev
$ apt-get source libqglviewer-qt3-dev
$ cd qglviewer-... (directory of the unpackaged source)
$ fakeroot debian/rules binary

That will create the packages, install them with "sudo dpkg -i *.deb".
Then it should work.

Good luck, Vaclav
