Hi Graham,
sip4's autopkgtests fail with Python 3.12 [1]. I've copied what I
hope is the relevant part of the log below.
[1] https://ci.debian.net/packages/s/sip4/testing/amd64/
22s autopkgtest [20:09:51]: test autodep8-python3: [-----------------------
22s Testing with python3.12:
22s <module 'sip' from
'/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sip.cpython-312-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'>
22s bash: line 1: 1865 Segmentation fault $py -c "import sip; print(sip)"
22s autopkgtest [20:09:51]: test autodep8-python3: -----------------------]
I can reproduce that, although I should mention that the segfault
happens during teardown, not when the module is loaded:
>>> import sip
>>> print(sip)
<module 'sip' from
'/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sip.cpython-312-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'>
>>> <Ctrl-D>
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I'd also like to point out that SIP4 is no longer supported upstream.
The current version is 6.8.1, which is already packaged for Debian.

Cura was made fit for PyQt6 and SIP6 in April 2022, and I think 5.0 has
all the needed changes. I will investigate if we can drop the dependency
on python3-sip-dev. As far as I can see, there are no other users of
SIP4 in Debian, so maybe it can be dropped completely after fixing Cura.
