Dmitry, I'm not familiar with the rational as to why QGIS (and I have to assume other projects) have settled on going through this method to invoke pyuic5. That said, this method used to work just fine when building QGIS under Ubuntu 16.04, with pyqt5 5.5.1. The regression highlighted here results in QGIS' make process failing.
Moreover, I'm assuming that QGIS is not the only project that does so. Which means that, as it stands, Ubuntu 16.10, with the pyqt5 package it ships ATM, will negatively impact a number of projects. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1619840 Title: pyqt5's pyuic module import doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pyqt5/+bug/1619840/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
