I think systemd is too much complicated and thus error prone. And so does SysV init. In terms of reliability it should be as simple as possible. What I really like is the the idea of runsv [1] – the init itself does almost nothing. Even the simple things like respawning of the processes are handled

This is happening because somebody forgot to bump pkgrel and switched manually the packages. Yes is my fault. Pyqt was removed from database some days ago, I create a new package but I forgot to upload it as 4.8.2-3. Anyway a new pyqt package is coming and will fix this for everyone without -Syy.
