Hi Dmitry,

since you have experience with SIP on Debian, would you have any suggestions/hints on this problem? Thanks!

Hi!

From a quick look, I could not find Krita doing anything obviously wrong.
This error may be an unwanted side effect of optimizations in https://github.com/Python-SIP/sip/pull/87, which touched the code for detecting and reporting clashes, which produces this warning.

I would suggest to report this issue to SIP, either to the mailing list (https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt) or to GitHub issues (https://github.com/Python-SIP/sip/issues).
