Native linux client problem on arch linux

[achiraaz]

Hi I have recently started using the native arch linux package of the client as described here:
http://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?tit ... _FAF_Linux

However since I recently updated PyQt to latest version (I assume thats why at least) I have had some problems as can be seen in stacktrace below:

I am guessing that the solution is to upgrade PyQt to version 5 or maybe fix the issue with QtWebKit in some other way... Alternatively, I could downgrade the PyQt package but I dont know if that is a viable solution in the long run.

Suggestions are more than welcome

For now you will probably need to downgrade.

I'm using arch and this also broke me.

Would you mind giving an arch noob some help on what commands I'd need to run to get it working again? I tried installing what I thought were the old dependencies out of /var/ but it didn't seem to help.

I think the main package you need to downgrade is python2-pyqt4 to 4.12-3.
