Description

Basically, I can't open the bubblejail gui because it complains about PyQt5 not being found, though it is installed. I am no expert, so if I should file a complaint with somebody else, do let me know.

Output is below.

alpine:~$ bubblejail-config

Hello,

Can you try installing the PyQt5 from alpine package?

sudo apk add py3-qt5

[cynicsketch]

Fixed it. Odd that it isn't a declared dependency package.

Yes. Some dependencies are missing for Alpine package.

In think @donob4n planned to separate GUI and CLI in to different packages but I am not sure how much progress there was.

[donob4n]

Wops, I totally forgot about that. I think that I could do it this week.

[igo95862]

@donob4n I have a plan to add a notes that document every distro quirks running bubblejail. Can I add your user name and as Alpine Linux maintainer?

[donob4n]

I'm happy with that but I would like to be faster fixing problems on it. I hope to fix this today.

I created the subpackage on https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/38631

@creamrat when you upgrade you will lose 'bubblejail-config', install 'bubblejail-config' and remove 'py3-qt5' (which should be kept as dependency)

'bubblejail-config' seems a better name than 'bubblejail-gui'

Regardless the other deps like 'desktop-file-utils' and 'libnotify' I think that they are better inside the desktop that the user install and let bubblejail silently ignore them if missing.

Looks great!

I think I will add those details to the quirks page. I already added one for Void Linux.

There is no pong from @cynicsketch but I feel that this could be closed.
