Backintime launch failure

[Morph]

Dear all

I can't get Backintime-kde4 to launch. When I try to launch in Konsole I get the following message :

[root@localhost ~]# backintime-kde4
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/backintime/kde4/app.py", line 43, in <module>
    from PyKDE4.kdecore import *
RuntimeError: the PyQt4.QtCore module is version 1 but the PyKDE4.kdecore module requires version -1

I have checked all the dependencies and they appear to be installed. I've not come across a solution despite a bit of searching.

Can anyone offer any suggestions.

Thanks

KDE-MiniME 2012.02 fully updated.

Do you have

python-qt4
python-qt4-core
python-kde4

installed?

[Morph]

Yes they are all installed.

I cannot reproduce your problem here .....  but thought there might be something needed that is not in the Minime ISO and thus not installed.

That's what I wondered - would there be any value in re-posting as a mini-me thread ?

I doubt it .....  plenty have read the thread, but obviously no one has an immediate solution for you  

In addition, duplicate posts are frowned upon  

Seems you were not alone with the problem

A solution would appear to be to use the 'gnome-backintime' package

Yep - Gnome backintime gui worked - thanks very much for your help

Oops, I followed the German forum link and posted my reply there by accident wondering why all I saw after was in German for a minute.   

Just wanted to say as a FYI that I have the same error on my fully updated system with the mentioned python packages installed but I installed PCLinux from the pclinuxos-kde-2012.08.iso 1.3Gb version.
