Anki Does not load.

Error from terminal
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/anki", line 7, in <module>
    import aqt
  File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/__init__.py", line 12, in <module>

    from PyQt4.QtWebKit import QWebPage, QWebView, QWebSettings
ImportError: No module named QtWebKit

There is a work around by installing a special python library.
but when I do the upgrade.. it upgrades
python-qt4
and breaks again.
THIS IS A MAJOR BUG at least for gnome 16.10 and I think 16.04 too.

This has nothing to do with my mainline linux. It did this long before.

If I reinstall using dpkg - i python-qt4_4.11.2+dfsg-1_amd64.deb

then it will work. (it is a lower version python)
