[Debian-pan-maintainers] Bug#1093477: python3-pymca5: python3-qtconsole dropping dependency on PyQt5; Depends needs updating

[Julian Gilbey]

Package: python3-pymca5
Version: 5.9.3+dfsg-1+b1
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.

python3-pymca5 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
