Hi,

browsing through PyQt mailing list I've found this thread with similar problems:
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2008-May/019482.html

So this really looks like a binary compatibility problem of the
packages: PyQGIS (and other SIP-based bindings like scintilla) have to
be regenerated (i.e. recompiled) after the upgrade. So there are two
possibilities:
1. downgrade to previous package versions of python-sip4 and python-qt4
-or-
2. remove QGIS package from your system and compile it from source -
this might be a bit painful if you've never done it before but there
is a tutorial how to do it:
http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/BuildingFromSource (chapter 5)

Bye
Martin
