Installing with yay, I get this error:
Could not find PKGDEST for: python2-sip-pyqt4
I assume this has something to do with the merger of this package into python-sip-pyqt4? This prevents updating pyqt4-common as well.

Sorry, I have been busy lately. I have updated it now.
I agree. This package should be updated. It is breaking pybitmessage at the moment because it hasn't been updated. Fix is here:

The download URL is wrong or has changed. The valid one is: https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Downloads/sip/4.19.15/sip-4.19.15.tar.gz
Why not update this package in the meantime, and discuss with graysky the possibility of merging them?
Has graysky ever been contacted about it? Do you know whether he knows about the proposal at all, or whether he considers it desirable?
Hello world:
User alexei flagged the package and buzo filed an orphan request.
alexei wrote, among other things, that:
Btw, could you please merge the python-sip-pyqt4 and python2-sip-pyqt4 into one split package?
This is impossible as the counterpart package is already owned by someone else, graysky. So I decided it would be prudent to wait for them to request deletion of this package, presumably when they have a split package available.
That hasn't happened. This package should not be orphaned, it should be deleted. But it shouldn't be deleted until graysky requests as such because only he can make a split package. Alternatively, he can add me as a comaintainer to his package, then I can push the split package.
