Well, open tree view ('t'), select the file you are interested of,
then click the magic wand button on the tool bar, now revisions you

patch/diff you see will always point to your file (also if you can see
the whole patch).

With Mandriva you are just at an uprmi away.

Try something like

urpmi libqt4-devel

It worked for me ;-)
