Bug 458278 – dev-util/eric-5.2.7 - RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v9.0 to v9.1 but the PyKDE4.kdeui module requires API v8.1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Alexander Stein 2013-02-19 12:23:05 UTC]

Tried to update eric-5.2.7 and emerge failed. Please see build.log.
I updated sip to 4.14.3 and PyQt4 to 4.9.6-r2 yesterday.

Reproducible: Always

build.log from dev-util/eric-5.2.7

Did you rebuild pykde after updating your dev-python/sip? 

@kde: I believe the pykde package should make use of subslots so it gets rebuild automatically when dev-python/sip is updated

pykde was updated (and so build) after sip and PyQt4 as well.

Build log for Calibre and Eric

[Comment 5 Mickaël Bucas 2013-02-21 11:14:51 UTC]

I've had the same problem for dev-util/eric-5.2.7 as well as app-text/calibre-0.9.19 after upgrading to dev-python/sip-4.14.3:0/9 from 4.13.3:0/0

See build log for both.

Contrary to bug 336395, I had no warning about the need to recompile packages that depend on sip.

Once I recompiled the packages that depend on sip, eric and calibre installed fine.

emerge -1 =dev-python/PyQt4-4.9.6-r2 =dev-python/qscintilla-python-2.6.2 =kde-base/plasma-workspace-4.9.5 =kde-base/pykde4-4.9.5 =sci-visualization/qtiplot-0.9.8.9-r1

Please ignore that.
This information was from a different box, where eric is not installed. Rebuilding pykde4 (and also dev-python/qscintilla-python) fixed this problem.

Thanks. Lets keep this bug open until pykde4 is really fixed to understand the correct subslots.

pykde4 subslots are already present in ~arch

[Comment 9 Mike Nerone 2013-03-01 18:00:52 UTC]

I was struck by this, as well. Just wanted to confirm comment #5. The rebuild warning was, indeed, removed from >=dev-python/sip-4.14 prematurely.

it didn't seem to work in this case. Or did it?

Looks like the affected users are running stable.

[Comment 12 Michael Palimaka (kensington) 2013-04-07 20:16:16 UTC]

pykde4 with sip subslot dependency is now stabilised.
