Public bug reported:
I cannot run `software-properties-qt` immediately after apt-installing
it on Kubuntu 26.04.
# Expected behavior
It should not crash
# Actual behavior
```console
home@daniel-desktop3:~$ GDK_BACKEND=wayland software-properties-qt
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/software-properties-qt", line 36, in <module>
from softwareproperties.qt.SoftwarePropertiesQt import SoftwarePropertiesQt
File
"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/qt/SoftwarePropertiesQt.py",
line 37, in <module>
from PyQt6 import uic
ImportError: cannot import name 'uic' from 'PyQt6'
(/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt6/__init__.py)
```
# Workaround
```bash
sudo apt install pyqt6-dev-tools
```
# Analysis
Please adjust the packaging of python3-pyqt6. Either:
* Soften the hard-dependency on uic
* Merge package pyqt6-dev-tools with package python3-pyqt6
* Add `Depends: pyqt6-dev-tools` to python3-pyqt6's control
