You need to install qt4-qtconfig to make it available.

We will need to think what to do with the binaries that qtchooser masks, as
making qtchooser depend on them is not correct :-/

Thanks for the bug report :)

qtchooser masks a list of binaries allowing the user to choose between
different Qt installations like Qt4, Qt5 or even a user-compiled one.

While this approach gives more freedom to choose, it also brings the downside
that the binaries may not be installed (making them a dpendency would bring
circular dependencies...)

I'll keep this bug with severity important until we get a better error
message.

Hello,

I just encountered this bug myself, and discovered that the actual
missing package is qt4-qmake, not qt4-qtconfig, at least in Jessie.

Cheers,

Dear Maintainer,

    similar thing occurred to me:

$ qdbusviewer
qdbusviewer: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qdbusviewer': No such file or directory

    the missing file is in the following package:

$ apt-file search /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qdbusviewer
qt4-dev-tools: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qdbusviewer

    after installing the package, all goes well:

$ sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools
[...]

tag 712264 - wontfix
thanks

I'm detagging this as wontfix as I think this might get solved by using
triggers. We might be able to let each app to trigger a script that
creates/removes qtchooser's symlinks as necessary.
