Details

Description: When impoting modules from qt3 I get a message "RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v6.0 but the qt module requires API v5.0"

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce: Have pyqt3 installed, run python, and type "import qt" or "from qt import *".

Or install imgseek from AUR and run it:

traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/imgSeekLib/ImageDB.py", line 48, in <module>
from qt import *
RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v6.0 but the qt module requires API v5.0
Cause: You system doesn't seem to have PyQT installed. Please install it before running this application. See http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/download.php and http://imgseek.sourceforge.net/requirements.html

Rebuilding pyqt3 solved this for me.

This task depends upon
