Bug 174844

Summary:	dev-python/PyQt-3.17 depends on masked dev-python/sip version

Description Mike C. Fletcher 2007-04-16 19:47:56 UTC

The ebuild declares that it needs >=dev-python/sip-4.4.1, but the only version of dev-python/sip greater than 4.4.1 is 4.4.5, which is explicitly masked because it is incompatible with PyQt 3.x.

Probably should mask PyQt 3.17 until the sip issue is ironed out.

In the meantime, dev-python/PyQt-3.14.1-r2 and dev-python/sip-4.2.1-r1 appear to work together fine, those should be usable for most purposes I would think.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -avuDt world
2. attempts to update to PyQt-3.17
3. fails because the sip version it relies upon is masked

Mike, if this is on amd64, dev-python/sip-4.5.2-r1 is stable on amd64, and works with dev-python/PyQt-3.17, so I really do not see what the problem is here. I assume you've run emerge --sync (and therefore have an up-to-date tree). Due to this I'm marking the bug RESOLVED INVALID. If either you or the QT herd think this is a valid bug, feel free to reopen - I might have made a horrible mistake and misread something somewhere...
