Bug Description

Binary package hint: eric

In Ubuntu 9.04, I have changed /usr/bin/python to point to /usr/bin/python2.6. When I run Eric, I don't get a new window, but I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/eric/modules/eric4.py", line 43, in <module>
    from KdeQt.KQApplication import KQApplication
  File "/usr/share/eric/modules/KdeQt/__init__.py", line 20, in <module>
    import Preferences
  File "/usr/share/eric/modules/Preferences/__init__.py", line 36, in <module>
    class Prefs(object):
  File "/usr/share/eric/modules/Preferences/__init__.py", line 74, in Prefs
    QtCore.QStringList("127.0.0.1") << QtCore.QString("0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1%0")
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for <<: 'QStringList' and 'QString'

When I change /usr/bin/eric to use /usr/bin/python2.5 instead of /usr/bin/python, it works.
