Dear all,
I am on Opensuse 11.3 and using the Release:45 repo to get KDE RC 4.5.
Problem is, I cannot start eric (nor spyder, nor any other Pyqt-based python editors). On startup, eric tells me
RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v8.0 but the PyQt4.Qsci module requires API v7.1
This boils down to a dependency conflict between python-qscintilla and python-sip - but it fast turns into dependency hell.
In a nutshell: repo Release:45 has no python-qscintilla.rpm, and two python-sip (4.10 and 4.11) rpms. Installing 4.11 is fine but raises the above problem; trying to downgrade to 4.10 results in a broken python-kde4 and hence in broken kde 4.5.
I tried several workarounds and third-party packages but with no luck.
I guess the answer should be to contact the release:45 repo maintainer and ask them to upload a compatible version of python-qscintilla. Do they read the forum?
Or is there any other workaround?
