2.x version package, in its current form, will silently fail every time. When started from command line, package will report failure due to missing PyQt5 runtime dependency. Ebuild is mistakenly declaring PyQt6 as usable on package 2.x series. Reproducible: Always Had removed PyQt5 recently as part of depclean, as no package reported as requiring. However, found media-sound/picard-2.13.3 will repeatedly fail. Execution from command line reported the following error: ----- $ picard Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/picard", line 4, in <module> from picard.tagger import main File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/picard/tagger.py", line 63, in <module> from PyQt5 import ( ...<3 lines>... ) ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/picard", line 10, in <module> crash_handler() ~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/picard/__init__.py", line 111, in crash_handler from PyQt5.QtCore import ( ...<3 lines>... ) ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5' ----- Upstream is moving code base to using PyQt6 (see upstream bug PICARD-2331 https://github.com/metabrainz/picard/pull/2154). However, implementation is labelled as intended for 'picard 3.x' release. PyQt6 references only exist in master branch. All picard 2.x branches still rely on PyQt5. Other distributions still report PyQt5 as a requirement for media-sound/picard-2.13.3. (debian - https://sources.debian.org/src/picard/2.13.3-1/requirements.txt/; arch - https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/picard/; fedora(rawhide) - https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/picard/picard/fedora-rawhide.html#dependencies) Package utilizing PyQt6 is available only when employing upstream 'master' branch (i.e. using 9999 ebuild). Usage of PyQt6 on package 2.x series is premature and will fail.
