Heh... This is a real problem, but I thought it wasn't going to hit us so quick. The long story: I uploaded sip & PyQt 3.5 last week, but sip was rejected due to a packaging error. I thought PyQt wasn't going to enter because it needs sip >= 3.5 to build... but it got into sid (*sigh*). I was going to upload sip again but now we are in the middle of the much awaited and feared "GCC 3.2 transition", so I'm waiting for Qt3-G++3.2-compiled to reach the unstable distribution before uploading sip again. The short story: Please, add a "sarge" (or "testing") repository to your sources.list and download PyQt this way: apt-get install python-qt3/testing or apt-get install python-qt3/sarge It's PyQt 3.4, but it will work in the mean time. It's not very likely that Qt3/G++3.2 comes into the distro before next week, so I'll probably upload the sip&PyQt 3.5 packages to my personal repository[1]. If you really need the latest PyQt, please, notice me about it and I'll turn that 'probably' to a 'right now' (this, of course, goes the same to the other Debian users, please bear with me). [1] more info at http://people.debian.org/~rcardenes WARNING: By policy, all Debian packages containing libs and compiled with G++3.2 will have an additional "c102" in their name until the soname of the libs change. So python*-sip* and python*-qt* packages (which contains .so.* files) will change their names too, and probably won't be back to their all name before sip v4 (I suppouse that will be the next soname major change, but that's Phil choice, not mine ;)), and I don't know when will it happen for PyQt, as the last versions haven't changed their soname (all were 1.0.0). I'll remember this in an [ANN] message to the list and in my page in the moment I start uploading them into the distro, but they're supposed to replace the old packages automagically.
