libQtWebKit.so.4 is part of qtwebkit. qtwebkit is needed for PyQt4. spyder depends on PyQt4. I am wondering, how it is possible to install spyder without qtwebkit? rpmreaper shows the spyder dependencies as shown below: L 9.1M spyder 2.2.4-1.fc20.noarch 14.5M ├─> PyQt4 4.10.2-5.fc20.i686 313K │ ├─> dbus-libs 1.6.12-9.fc20.i686 826K │ ├─> dbus-python 1.2.0-1.fc20.i686 o 14.3M │ ├─> glibc 2.18-12.fc20.i686 1.2M │ ├─> libX11 1.6.1-1.fc20.i686 83K │ ├─> libXext 1.3.2-2.fc20.i686 199K │ ├─> libgcc 4.8.3-1.fc20.i686 o 998K │ ├─> libstdc++ 4.8.3-1.fc20.i686 543K │ ├─> mesa-libGL 10.1.5-1.20140607.fc20.i686 o 687K │ ├─> phonon 4.7.2-1.fc20.1.i686 79K │ ├─> python 2.7.5-13.fc20.i686 22.8M │ ├─> python-libs 2.7.5-13.fc20.i686 17.1M │ ├─> qt 4.8.6-9.fc20.1.i686 33.6M │ ├─> qt-x11 4.8.6-9.fc20.1.i686 66.4M │ ├─> qtwebkit 2.3.3-7.fc20.i686 360K │ └─> sip 4.14.7-2.fc20.i686 o 3.4M ├─> bash 4.2.47-3.fc20.i686 48K ├─> hicolor-icon-theme 0.13-1.fc20.noarch 98K ├─> pyflakes 0.7.3-4.fc20.noarch 79K ├─> python 2.7.5-13.fc20.i686 1.4M ├─> python-rope 0.10.2-4.fc20.noarch 3.8M └─> python-sphinx 1.1.3-9.fc20.noarch
