I first noticed this problem earlier this week. Wifieye would just fail.

So I decided to run it from the command line and see what I get:
Code:
File "/usr/bin/wifieye", line 24, in <module>
  import wifieye.core
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/wifieye/core.py", line 25, in <module>
  import wifi
File "usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/wifieye/wifi.py", line 25, in <module>
  from PyQt4 import QtCore
RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v8.0 but the PyQt4.QtCore module requires API v7.1
I run apt-get upgrade and I get told that python2.5-qt4-common is being kept back. So, I tell it to install that package. Doing so uninstalls python2.5-qt4-core, python2.5-qt4-gui, and wifieye. Attempting to reinstall them afterwards fails because python2.5-qt4-core and python-qt4-gui depend on python2.5-qt4-common (=4.7.4-maemo0) but 4.7.5-maemo1 is "to be installed" (which means it already is installed).

So, since I'm only using extras and not extras-devel I thought I'd look up the versions of the packages. Common has already been upgraded to 4.7.5-maemo1, while core and gui still sit at 4.7.4-maemo0 in everything outside extras-devel.

I attempted contacting the maintainer of these packages, an Attila Csipa, at the garage.maemo.org contact site and got a delivery failure notification returned less than a day later. Suggestions?
