Sven, Allan,

  Perfect! qt3-enhanced provides qt3:

provides=('qt3=3.3.8' 'qt-enhanced=3.3.8')

so if I understand correctly, then depends=('qt3' ...) will work. Thank you.

One last question. I'm using a patched qt3 for tqtinterface (Trinity
qtinterface) which bumps qt3 to 3.3.8c. Can I rebuild qt3 and make the provides:

provides=('qt3=3.3.8c' 'qt-enhanced=3.3.8c')

or is adding the lowercase 'c' to the provides line wrong?
