16.10 Unable to locate package libqtwebkit - Ask Ubuntu


i have been using blink in ubuntu 16.04 , upgraded 16.10 today. blink fails following error

root@mark-inspiron-13-7359:~# blink traceback (most recent call last):   file "/usr/bin/blink", line 30, in <module>     blink import blink   file "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/blink/__init__.py", line 41, in <module>     blink.chatwindow import chatwindow   file "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/blink/chatwindow.py", line 12, in <module>     pyqt4.qtwebkit import qwebpage, qwebsettings, qwebview importerror: no module named qtwebkit 

and

libqt5webkit5 newest version (5.6.1+dfsg-4ubuntu1~2). 

just pay attention have 2 different versions of qt: qt4 , qt5. got error python2.7 uses qt4, , unfortunately there little qtwebkit removed shipped qt4 packages (as noticed have qtwebkit present qt5 on system, qt4 program cant use it). software developers (in case blink) port code qt5 (or pyqt5 in case). quite huge problem not in ubuntu 16.10 in debian unstable, , lot of qt4 legacy programs fails removal of qtwebkit qt4. porting code base qt4 qt5 not hard. (it quite simple in python qt (pyqt) code base, can more complicated if parts of program in c++).

update:

going github page of blink, can see allready addresed problem , moved qt5. either have wait blink repacked upstream version in ubuntu (you try fill bug report attention , faster process), or try install program manually source code.
