Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

QScintilla 2.4.6

This problem is commonly known as a result of missing global recompilation of the KDE4/PyQt4/sip/QScintilla toolchain after upgrading of one of them ... 

We experimented this thing very often under Mandriva for years ! :-(( 


How reproducible:
Every eric4 lauch

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install eric4
2.launch it
3.

Would you be kind to recompile these tools together.
I will send feedback regularly if you need ...

Serge.

Please test the qscintilla-2.4.6-3.mga1 packages that should land in core/updates_testing soon.

Comment 2 Serge Montagnac 2011-07-03 02:49:14 CEST

(In reply to comment #1)
Ok, I installed python-qt4/qscintilla updates.
Eric4 is running normally my applications including matplotlib with qt4-agg backend and qt4-designer...

Just one warning I don't yet understood ... :

[serge@darkstar ~]$ eric4
** (process:18493): CRITICAL **: enchant_broker_request_dict: assertion `tag && strlen(tag)' failed

Thanks a lot,
Serge.

Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2011-07-03 06:45:19 CEST

Not fixed until the packages are moved to core/updates.

This is an official update request. As you can see the qscintilla python bindings are broken in core/release as they weren't rebuilt for new, at that time, python-qt4 prior to mga1 release.

No test case that I can think of (eric4 isn't in the repos), this rebuild is a must; if the bindings are broken for one package, they're broken for all packages use the qscintilla python bindings.

Proposed Advisory text:
======================================
The python bindings of QScintilla were broken as it wasn't rebuilt for the PyQt4 version update prior to the Mageia 1 release. This updates rebuilds QScintilla so that its python bindings work again.
