[PyKDE] Eric3 on Debian Sid (broken?)

[Josh Gilbert]

Ah, that got it. For those searching the archives, I was using the wrong 
package for "qt". Instead of libqt3c102, I used python2.3-qt3.

If the maintainer of Eric3 is out there, could you please put somewhere on 
your page the Debian packages required to run Eric3? Debian has a lot of 
packages for qt, its not a very useful description. 

For completeness, I installed the following since my last email;
from sid:
python-sip-qt3

from http://people.debian.org/~rcardenes/dists/sid/main/binary-i386/
python2.3-qt3_3.11-1_i386.deb
python2.3-qtext_3.11-1_i386.deb

which required removing libqt3c102. That libsip.so.10 error is really opaque 
and obscure.


Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Please, refer to:

  http://bugs.debian.org/242412

for an explanation of what's happening right now with sip/PyQt packages.
Short story: unmatching versions of the packages on the repository. You
should get PyQt 3.11 from my personal repository, as explained in the
bug. If you ever need to revert to a previous version of a package, not
present anymore on the repositories, please look at
