tks,
Yes that is a workaround. After the successful upgrade, you will have /usr/share/sip/PyQt5 pointing to the binding directory under sitearch and the Qsci sip files will also be there.
Thanks for the clarification. After moving /usr/share/sip/PyQt5 to /usr/share/sip/PyQt5.bak, I have done the upgrade. But I got,
```# du -shL /usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/PyQt5/bindings 300K /usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/PyQt5/bindings # du -shL /usr/share/sip/PyQt5.bak 4.7M /usr/share/sip/PyQt5.bak```
The sizes of contents of the two directories are different. Is this a problem? Is the system safe to reboot?
I did not check the size difference but have rebooted w/o noticing problem and have not noticed any system anomalies I would attribute to python.
Those files are used for developing python bindings with sip. Cheers, Pete
