[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1093476: glueviz: python3-qtconsole dropping dependency on PyQt5; Depends needs updating

[Julian Gilbey]

Package: glueviz
Version: 1.17.1+dfsg-2
Severity: important
User: python3-qtconsole at packages.debian.org
Usertags: drop-qt5

python3-qtconsole is dropping its dependency on the Python Qt5
libraries, as it is a widget, not an application, and works with
PyQt5, PyQt6 and PySide 6.  See
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1089946
for more discussion on this.

glueviz will therefore need to add python3-pyqt5.qtsvg to its runtime
Depends.

python3-qtconsole version 5.6.1-3 in experimental has made this change
(dropping PyQt5 dependencies), and can be used to test your changes.
I plan to upload this new python3-qtconsole to unstable in about four
weeks (or sooner if possible), so I can do an NMU if that would help.

Further down the line, there is now guidance in the README.Debian.gz
file in python3-qtconsole on how to set up dependencies for PyQt6 and
PySide 6.

Best wishes,

   Julian
