No this is not a bug report, it's a howto for a workaround.

I assume you have done everything to try to install kuickshow from packages already, including the kdegraphics package for KDE 3.5.5

I just compiled kuickshow from svn myself since it wasn't prepared in any of the repositories for Edgy. I am sharing the way to do it for those who are unexperienced.

You need to have the development libs of course, and the C++ compiler g++. I don't remember the exact packages or package names, but basically:

• g++
  
• kdelibs-dev
  
• libqt3-dev
  
• imlib-dev
  
• automake 1.9
  
• subversion

And here's what to do:

• select a place for the sources to go:
  mkdir ~/src/KDE-extra/kdegraphics
  cd ~/src/KDE-extra/kdegraphics
• check out the sources from 3.5 branch:
  svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kdegraphics
• prepare the build system:
  cd kdegraphics
  make -f Makefile.cvs
• Prepare a build dir:
  mkdir ~/src/build/kdegraphics
  cd ~/src/build/kdegraphics
• configure... Here is where all the options go. I decided to minimize the compile time, so I try to exclude anything but kuickshow:
  ~/src/KDE-extra/kdegraphics/configure --without-kcoloredit --without-kgamma --without-kooka --without-ksvg --without-kdvi --without-kghostview --without-kpdf --without-kfax --without-kiconedit --without-kpovmodeller --without-kview --without-doc --without-kfaxview --without-kmrml --without-kruler --without-kviewshell --without-kamera --without-kfile-plugins --without-kolourpaint --without-ksnapshot --without-libkscan
• Here, look carefully for error messages at the end. If it doesn't produce any arrors about kuickshow, you are ready to go.
  
• compile and install
  make
  sudo make install
  This should put kuickshow in /usr/bin/kuickshow
