SuSE-10.2 actual has NO pyqt4-package  ...

I can compile and package pyqt4 and the needed sip to build pksampler.  I've 
prepared all those packages and they are ready to roll out. 
As the packages are builded in a chroot this is possible at compile/build-time 
but at installation time ... the sip is the main problem it cann't be 
installed in paralell, all package- managers wants them to remove the half of 
qt3 packages and the kde* packages, because they are dependend on qt3.

QT3 and QT4 can be installed parallel, they use /usr/lib/qt3 and /usr/lib/qt4.
If you have any ideas how to manage this, that would be great, because 
pksampler would be available for SuSE :)

have fun
