Problem

When attempting to install quamachi using the autopackage package you get the error :

Checking for PyQt bindings ... failed
Error: Could not find 'PyQt bindings'. Try using the native package manager for Ubuntu 9.10 (apt-get) to install a package with similar name to 'pyqt'.

Error: Unable to prepare package Quamachi - Hamachi GUI.

Solution

The autopackage installer is using the “locateCommand” function to look for 2 files, “pyuic” and “pyuic4”. I determined this by :

  • breaking open the package file 
    ./quamachi-0.4.1-1.package --extract
  • grepping through the contents of the package for the error string 
    grep -ri "PyQt bindings" quamachi-0.4.1-1/*
  • which revealed two files the had that string in it : 
    quamachi-0.4.1-1/Build/autopackage/skeletons/@riverbankcomputing.com/pyqt/skeleton.2:DisplayName: PyQt bindings
quamachi-0.4.1-1/Build/autopackage/skeletons/@riverbankcomputing.com/pyqt/skeleton.1:DisplayName: PyQt bindings
  • viewing those files revealed the function which was causing the error : ``` SOFTWARE_VERSIONS=locateCommand -o pyuic -version | cut -f5 -d' '

and

SOFTWARE_VERSIONS=locateCommand -o pyuic4 --version | cut -f5 -d' '

* The locateCommand function uses "which" to find the files. I didn't have these files in my path (or even installed)
* To determine what package provides these files I ran :

apt-file search pyuic apt-file search pyuic4

which reported that the packages "pyqt-tools" and "pyqt4-dev-tools" provided these two files. I then installed them

# Other Notes
I'm currently stuck installing quamachi since it's still having problems. The above problem and solution gets through the PyQt bindings problem. Here's what remains :

package install quamachi-0.4.1-1.package

This is after enabling debug output with :

export DEBUGLEVEL=3
export AUTOPACKAGE_DEBUG_LOGFILE=./autopackage.log

The Debug file shows a handful of problems :
