[Bug 2134362] [NEW] software-properties-qt depends on python3-sip, removed from Debian

[Chris Halse Rogers]

Public bug reported:

sip4 has been removed from Debian (removal bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1059648), is abandoned
upstream.

It seems that sip4 was built for Qt4, which software-properties-qt no
longer uses, so maybe this is just a vestigial dependency? If not, sip6
(binary package: python3-sipbuild), supports Qt6 and is in the archive.

** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu)
     Importance: High
         Status: Confirmed

** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High
