Carla doesn't start with python-pyqt5 5.15.8

SnipeXandrej commented 1 year ago

Carla with python-pyqt5 5.15.8 doesn't start and immediately prints a traceback in the terminal, but Carla does start after downgrading python-pyqt5 to 5.15.7

This is on Arch Linux.

Should be fixed in 8c662a990f33e278a738dcc4f5b43c086c12166b, you can use the hotfix-2.5 branch for testing. Feedback is much appreciated, I dont personally have a way to test this myself for now

That commit does indeed fix the issue.

As a side note, there seems to be a regression in sip 6.7.6 that's causing these issues. So at least on Arch they pushed an update 2 hours ago as a workaround, they basically rebuilt the pyqt5 package against the older sip 6.7.5 instead of the newer sip 6.7.6 and therefore fixing it on Arch.
