Eric7 crashes unexpectedly

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi Patrick,

I am sorry to hear, that you gave up. Nevertheless I installed a fresh 
openSUSE VirtualBox machine and got eric working in a Python virtual 
environment with one little issue not related to eric-ide. I had to 
update the 'pip' package of the environment because it was too old. 
Thereafter PyQt6 was installed without an issue and eric started and 
showed its initialization sequence.

Note: I installed openSUSE with the KDE Plasma desktop. Maybe that is 
different to your VM.

Regards, Detlev
