@SeeLook sure, check Arch Linux Archive https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/p/python2-pyqt5/

Do you know maybe where I can get this old package. I updated system recently and forgot to mask this python2-pyqt5 version. In force of speed I cleaned old packages cache as well.

@chrisjbillington downgrading to python2-pyqt5-5.12.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz helped, thanks

Reported and also saw a similar issue. I have not downgrade to python2-pyqt5 5.12.3-2. I use another program so far.

@neit95 seems similar to the bug discussed earlier in this thread - does it still occur if you downgrade to python2-pyqt5 5.12.3-2? If so, probably a bug in tortoisehg, and you should report it to their bugtracker on bitbucket.

@abique so would I. I was thinking of trying to see if any TUs have interest in it after the transition to Python 3 for mercurial and tortoisehg is complete, since that could be a bit disruptive, and since there is increasing pressure to remove Python 2 only packages from the repos given it's EOL in six months.

I would really love to see this package in community repository. Right now the pair mercurial / tortoisehg breaks way too often.

Upstream PyQt say that the issue will be fixed in tonight's snapshot, and that a bugfix release of PyQt5 will happen soon.

If anyone is desperate, they could file a bug against Arch's python2-pyqt5 package to get the fix sooner. But there seems to be no downside to holding back the package, so I would probably just wait for the release.

Downgrading to python2-pyqt5 5.12.3-2 still works for me as well. Otherwise tortoise doesn't launch.
