Thank you for this. I've spent some time working through, finding a bucketload of packages that I didn't have installed already, but now I'm really stuck at this error (during dpkg-buildpackage)
I'll just show the last several lines before the error message: mkdir -p Python/build-2.5 cd Python/build-2.5 \ && python2.5 ../configure.py -n ../../Qt4/ -o ../../Qt4 -c -p 4 PyQt 4.6 is being used.

Please make sure SIP is installed. make: *** [Python/build-2.6/configure-stamp] Error 1 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 apt-file suggests that sipconfig.py exists in 'python-sip4' and there's a sipconfig_d.py in python-sip4-dbg - but I have both those packages, from experimental branch, already installed. Plus, of course, I have the sip4 package installed. All are version 4.9-1 Apologies for being a bit dumb about this - long time Debian user, usually avoid the experimental branch for just this kind of reason, but just now starting to learn python and want to stick with 3.x thanks, Jedd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
