Using an AUR helper such as yay to build packages including backintime is HIGHLY discouraged. The recommended build method is to use a clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.

Please stop posting build failures because you insist on building with yay or other AUR helpers.

I installed the python-sip-pyqt4 package from @inemum and that solved the problem as @finswimmer described.

How do I install the described python-sip-pyqt4 package provided by @inemum?

finswimmer commented on 2018-12-30 16:28 (UTC)

With PyQt4 v4.12.2 it is necessary to create a private copy of the sip module. See the note in the install instructions (http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/installation.html)

Note: When building PyQt4 v4.12.2 or later you must configure SIP to create a private copy of the sip module using a command line similar to the following:

python configure.py --sip-module PyQt4.sip --no-dist-info --no-tools

In the comment area of the python-pyqt4 package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-pyqt4/) @inemum provide a PKGBUILD for a python-sip-pyqt4 package. Installing this and added it as a dependency for backintime, solves the "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt4.sip'" problem for me.

AUR helpers do not help. Stop using them and just build with makepkg.

And once I manage to install I get the same error as @MikeyRat: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt4.sip'

catalin.hritcu commented on 2018-12-14 14:52 (UTC)

And similar for pamac: "could not satisfy dependencies: unable to satisfy dependency 'python-pyqt4' required by backintime"

catalin.hritcu commented on 2018-12-14 14:40 (UTC)

My aur helper (aura) also seems confused: "The following are not AUR packages: pyqt4-common python-pyqt4"

Here's what I'm getting and I did try a full reinstall. The install works but, it's missing something.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/backintime/qt4/app.py", line 30, in <module> import qt4tools File "/usr/share/backintime/qt4/qt4tools.py", line 21, in <module> from PyQt4.QtGui import QFont, QFileDialog, QListView, QAbstractItemView, \ ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt4.sip'

Not find the qt-assistant-compat dependency.

What?
