I am trying to package a python/qt app on the N900 using pypackager to build the deb, and dpkg to install the deb.

Problems I am having:

1. In my make.py file, I put in a depend on python2.5-qt4-gui as I am using a 'import PyQt4' statement within the UI.py file. dpkg reports the following when I try to install the resulting .deb (as root):

Code:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of maeflight:
 maeflight depends on python2.5-qt4-gui; however:
  Package python2.5-qt4-gui is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing maeflight (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 maeflight

2. So, I tried apt-get -f install to correct dependencies, with the following result:

Code:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  python2.5-qt4-xmlpatterns
The following NEW packages will be installed:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any ideas on what the issue is, and what I could try to resolve this?
