Perhaps you tried to install the
lcl-qt4-0.9.30_0.9.30-0_i386.deb
?

Can you give some more details?
Maybe this can be added to the installation hints.

The unit Exploreidemenu is an example package (examples/exploremenu). It is not
installed by default. Problably you had it installed in a former version and the
IDE tried to restore your old set of packages.
The debian package maintainer has set all packages (lpk files) to compile
"manually", even those that the debian packages not provided in compiled form
(ppu files).
Either uninstall the package exploreidemenu or open the package and compile it
manually.

On Sourceforge are debs, rpms and zip. The zip contains only the sources.
