I need to install this package in my Ubuntu 11.10 Oneric Ocelot. But, as I understand - this is obsolete now. But how can I install GTK+ engine for Qt?

Many of the previous GTK+2 based theme engines have not been ported to use the GTK+3 API. This also includes gtk-qt-engine - it looks like development of this has dramatically slowed.

There are a few engines with some very good themes being developed.

For QT-based apps you should use qt4-qtconfig and select the GTK style to make QT apps look similar to GTK based apps. Then apply some of the excellent themes around which your QT-based apps should inherit the GTK characteristics.

Below are a selection of some AskUbuntu! Q&A's that you might care to consult.
