When I try to open the options in eric4, it dies. Also if I attempt to run eric4-configure directly, it aborts with the message ASSERT: "left.level > right.level" in file itemviews/qtreeview.cpp, line 2121 Aborted Reproducible: Always The Debian folks seem to have a solution for themselves: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=468441 In short: Update to PyQt4-4.3.4 which isn't yet in portage, nor avaible in the PyQt4 site for

Different from the notices in the Debian Bug report, this happens for me with PyQt4-4.3.3 - so downgrading to PyQt-4.3.3 is no solution.

You probably use localised version of Eric, I switched language to English (from Russian) and it stopped failing.
is this still happening with 4.2.5 for you?
