PyQt4 is not the problem - without it QGIS 2.x wouldn't run at all.

But QtWebKit is not available for PyQt4 anymore in Debian/Ubuntu.  IIRC because
the webkit C++ libraries were about to be removed and PyQt4.QtWebKit was
removed upfront.  QGIS itself doesn't use it, but a bunch of plugins do -
openlayers being one of them.

So this is not an actual qgis packaging problem, nor an upstream problem, nor a
problem of the plugin.

The removal of the C++ libraries never happened and the QGIS packages from
qgis.org include the PyQt4.QtWebKit bindings based on the still available
libraries.

[Bug 1773196] [NEW] The plugin is broken. Python said: cannot import name QtWebKit

[Hadmut Danisch]

Public bug reported:

when trying to load the OpenLayersPlugin in qgis there's an error
message:

 The plugin is broken. Python said:cannot import name QtWebKit


Reason revealed by strace:

qgis uses  /usr/bin/python, which is a link to python 2.7 under ubuntu,
and then does not find a particular python lib:

17171 stat("/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyQt4/QtWebKit", 0x7ffc1443c810) = 
-1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
17171 openat(AT_FDCWD, 
"/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyQt4/QtWebKit.x86_64-linux-gnu.so", 
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
17171 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyQt4/QtWebKit.so", 
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
17171 openat(AT_FDCWD, 
"/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyQt4/QtWebKitmodule.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
17171 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyQt4/QtWebKit.py", 
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
17171 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyQt4/QtWebKit.pyc", 
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)


apt-file says there are no such files in bionic. Bionic offers files for
PyQt5, but not PyQt4.

I'm not sure whether this is a problem of that particular plugin or a
general standard for qgis, to still use PyQt4.
