I presume you managed to install Gambas and it runs.

Since gb.qt4 is not written in Gambas there should not be a
gb.qt4.gambas. Only the components written in Gambas have one.

How did the gb.qt4.gambas end up in the Debian repo of 3.1.1?
But what is more important is, does this mean the Debian repo can't be
updated to 3.4.1?
Is there a way of circumventing the Debian script to make it work.
I'm not a Debian packager, but maybe someone here knows so your Gambas
installation can be used for updating the Debian repo.

We could use that :)
