Description Andrea Scarpino 2010-07-17 11:45:56 UTC
After the update to pyqt 4.7.4 the printer configuration module in system settings does no more work.

Error is:
"The service 'Printer Configuration' does not provide an interface 'KCModule' with keyword 'system-config-printer-kde/system-config-printer-kde.py' The factory does not support creating components of the specified type."

Output in konsole:
(6298)/python (plugin): Error while running factory function for Python plugin:  "system-config-printer-kde/system-config-printer-kde.py"

kdebindings (both 4.4.5 and 4.4.92) have been rebuilt with sip 4.10.4 and pyqt 4.7.4.
Comment 1 Christian (Fuchs) 2010-07-22 14:06:37 UTC
Confirmed here (gentoo, same versions), a workaround is to 

        return self.parse(filename, os.path.dirname(str(filename)))
#       return self.parse(filename, os.path.dirname(filename))


in <libdir>/python2.6/site-packages/PyQt4/uic/Loader/loader.py

Kind regards, 

Christian
