[Francois Thirioux]

pyqt5 and python3-qtpy are installed but :

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Ghislain Vaillant (ghisvail)]

Confirmed and filed as an RC on Debian. Will prepare a fix shortly.

[Ghislain Vaillant (ghisvail)]

FYI, the issue is a combination of upstream now explicitly listing 'pyqt5' in install_requires, and a technicality in the Debian packaging of pyqt5, see <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=890200>.

[Francois Thirioux (fthx)]

Please upload new Debian *1-2 version to Ubuntu. This one close this critical issue.

Thanks to Ghislain, Debian maintainer.
