Picard depends on dev-python/PyQt4, and dev-python/PyQt4 depends on x11-libs/qt. I'm not sure what you did to leave your system in that state (or why), but it's definitely broken. Install x11-libs/qt:4 and everything should work. Just to be sure that you actually have all the dependencies installed, run: # emerge media-sound/picard
Ehm, sorry. I didn't realize that you actually had qt-core and some other paths of split Qt4 installed. I'll investigate the problem.
Can you try this: emerge -av sip qscintilla PyQt4 qscintilla-python picard And see if my hunch solves this?
yes, i have only qt-core-4.4.2 installed. the problem remains after re-emerging qt-core sip qscintilla PyQt4 qscintilla-python picard the qscintilla-packages weren't installed before.
I can confirm this issue, anything helpful I could provide?
I have this problem too. The problem is related to config files, I don't know how, but when I remove it from ~/.config/MusicBrainz/Picard.conf the app starts, but I get the same error again when I try to do something like change a config. There is a new version, picard-0.11, which seems to solve this problem. The old ebuild works, but the ffmpeg patches don't work, I removed them and it seems to work well. I'm using ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20081014, the lastest and the one that is going to be stabilized nearly(?). Also, I had to remove the config file to be able to use the new version, after that it works well, I can change the configuration and everything.
Thanks Juan! Picard 0.11 is now in the tree, I added a warning suggesting removing the configuration file if picard doesn't start.
i can confirm that picard-0.10-r2 and picard-0.11 works again after removing the old config. thank you! close the bug.
Closing, and opening a bug requesting latest picard stable.
