Description:
I believe this also applies to python2-pyqt5. Python package metadata (.egg-info files) of python-pyqt5 is missing. This means that the Python package system does not know if PyQt5 package is installed or not, e.g. "pip freeze" command does not tell there is PyQt5 package in the system. As a result, some programs which depend python-pyqt5 would crash on boot complaining that the requirement of PyQt5 does not meet. |
This task depends upon
It uses qmake to compile some shared libraries that happen to be linked to libpython3*.so and be installed to the PYTHONPATH, which is not the same thing at all.
If you want PyQt to install metadata that is relevant to the Python Packaging Authority and the ecosystem that conforms to PyPA standards... you'll need to discuss this with the PyQt developers:
