I agree with Detlev.

The QScintilla version in Debian is 2.9.3. I don't know if that
version is compatible with eric 19 but I suggest that you
stick to the Debian packages as much as possible.
If you want to go outside of the package system you need to remove the
conflicting Debian packages.

You can also upgrade to Debian Unstable (I run that myself) or we
could backport eric to stable.

Hope that helps.
