Arch Linux User Repository

If you get this error RuntimeError: Please install popplerqt5 first rebuild python-poppler-qt5 from AUR, NOT use the binary from some unofficial repository, sometimes it happens with those unofficial repos that some libraries are out of sync with the latest version of python

With all dependencies installed, I have the following error messages:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/krop/pdfcropper.py", line 28, in <module>
    from pyPdf import PdfFileReader, PdfFileWriter

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    On recent versions of Ubuntu, the following should do the trick:
    sudo apt-get install python-pypdf2
    (or, if using python3) sudo apt-get install python3-pypdf2

Any solution? Thanks in advance.

@s1ck-b0y good!

Nevermind haha I deleted and rebuilt practically everything and now its working. I've probably messed the files in the past. Sorry for the trouble.

Hi @XavierCLL. That's exactly what I did :c

Hi @s1ck-b0y, you need to rebuild (python-poppler-qt5 or python-poppler-qt5-git) from AUR, NOT use the binary from some unofficial repository (such as herecura or archlinuxcn), sometimes it happens with those unofficial repos that some libraries are out of sync with the latest version of python

@XavierCLL Still cannot run it.

Hi Alleut, that is a problem of 'python-poppler-qt5' maintainer but you can install 'python-poppler-qt5-git' to supply this dep

Something is missing

@XavierCLL Thanks. Unfortunately I am not knowledgeable enough to understand what you are pointing me at.

These two packages are from aur, you must use any aur helper for that https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers

Cannot install in Manjaro, I get this error: Missing dependencies: python-poppler-qt5 python-pypdf2

I still need to have python-sip installed to get krop to launch (I get the same error). For some reason, krop is not finding the sip provided by python-sip-pyqt5. To get it to use that, I need to change import sip to import PyQt5.sip as sip in line 5 of /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/krop/config.py

Edit: The following seems to be a better way to go about it:

import sys

PYQT5 = False
try:
    # use PyQt5 unless not available or specified otherwise
    if '--no-qt5' not in sys.argv:
        try:
            import PyQt5
            import PyQt5.sip as sip
            PYQT5 = True
        except ImportError:
            pass
    if not PYQT5:
        import PyQt4
        import sip
except ImportError:
    _msg = "Please install PyQt4 or PyQt5 first."
    raise RuntimeError(_msg)

...

Fixed and updated, thanks zoidberg.

I needed to install the python-sip package too to get this to work. Without this package, krop would exit with the following error when launched from the terminal:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/krop/config.py", line 5, in <module>
    import sip
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sip'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Could you please add this package to the dependencies? I also had python-pyqt5 installed, but that alone was not enough.

Hi Simonp, good changes thanks.

here is a new PKGBUILD which downloads the code directly from github: https://gist.github.com/simonpintarelli/9d12c3158e8e18634efed0f18c2ed604

No, due to the python-pyqt5 warranted that.

I think python-sip should be added to the dependencies.
