Description claraberendsen 2023-12-05 19:09:14 UTC 
Description of problem:

It seems that in November the qt5 packages provided by EPEL have been bumped to qt5 version 5.15.9, which left the pyside2 packages with broken dependencies. 

The build of the packages tracked in https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/python-pyside2?collection=epel9 highlights the broken dependencies.

Please rebuild/upgrade the package to match the new dependencies to have an in sync set of dependencies in EPEL.

Example of the error

```

This is still an issue, and reproducible on RHEL 9.

Comment 2 Richard Shaw 2024-09-21 12:35:10 UTC 
PySide2 is retired in Fedora, and not retiring in EPEL was likely an oversight. Upstream has moved all development efforts to PySide6.

If a simple rebuild fixes it I'll keep it around a little longer but I don't have time to fix major issues.

Comment 4 Carl George 🎩 2024-09-21 22:14:04 UTC 
Understood.  It is preferable to not have a package versus having a package that doesn't install.  It is allowed to retire an EPEL package, you just need to send an email and wait two weeks.

Comment 5 Carl George 🎩 2026-01-20 03:40:30 UTC 
This still fails to install.  Please proceed with retiring the package by following the "No time or desire" steps.

Comment 6 Richard Shaw 2026-01-25 19:36:30 UTC 
Done.
