app-portage/etc-proposals has a qt4 USE flag to enable Qt4 support - since Qt4 is dead, this package either needs to be ported to PyQt5 or drop Qt4 support at some point.
I don't know QT at all, so, unless someone puts in the effort to port it, I will have to drop Qt4 from the ebuild.
I can't install PyQt5 t the moment as I've already upgraded to Qt 5.9.2 (and I haven't ever used PyQt myself) but briefly looked at http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt5/pyqt4_differences.html It looks like porting might be quite simple. Probably less than 15 lines of code changed (like PyQt4->PyQt5 and maybe something with connecting SLOTs). So ideally, we wouldn't have to drop Qt4.
ok, I've got PyQt5 working. How do I start PyQt4 version? All I get is ~ $ python2 /usr/sbin/etc-proposals Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/etc-proposals", line 86, in <module> exec(data, new_globals) File "<string>", line 11, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/etcproposals/etcproposals_lib.py", line 604, in <module> State = EtcProposalsState() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/etcproposals/etcproposals_lib.py", line 566, in __init__ shelve.Shelf.__init__(self, anydbm.open(STATEFILE, 'c')) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/anydbm.py", line 85, in open return mod.open(file, flag, mode) gdbm.error: (2, 'No such file or directory')
Considering bug 287861 this should probably just be dropped. No one fixed it since 2012, so it probably won't happen in the next few weeks either.
