[Python-modules-team] Bug#523059: pyqt4-dev-tools: version 4.4.4-5 breaks pyuic4

[Pierre Chifflier]

Package: pyqt4-dev-tools
Version: 4.4.4-5
Severity: grave

Justification: pyuic4 does not work anymore

Hi,

After upgrading pyqt4-dev-tools (and python-qt4 etc.) from
4.4.4-4 to 4.4.4-5 (which should be a minor upgrade),
pyuic4 stopped working.

Error:

pyuic4 -o auth_ui.py auth.ui   
An unexpected error occurred.
Check that you are using the latest version of PyQt and send an error report to
support at riverbankcomputing.com, including the following information:

  * your version of PyQt (4.4.4)
  * the UI file that caused this error
  * the debug output of pyuic4 (use the -d flag when calling pyuic4)


Here is the complete traceback:


pyuic4 -d -o auth_ui.py auth.ui
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pyuic4", line 73, in <module>
    options.indent, options.pyqt3_wrapper)

    uic.compileUi(uifname, pyfile, execute, indent, pyqt3_wrapper)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/PyQt4/uic/__init__.py", line 66, in compileUi
    winfo = compiler.UICompiler().compileUi(uifile, pyfile)

    raise WidgetPluginError, "%s: %s" % (e.__class__, str(e))
