[Bug 1633819] Re: Some PyQt4 applications fail to start in Yakkety due to missing PyQt4-WebKit

[David Oftedal]

Ah! I forgot you also have to add back the old Xenial repositories.

1. su
2. echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe" >> /etc/apt/source.list
3. echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates universe" >> /etc/apt/source.list
4. apt-get update
5. apt-get install python-qt4=4.11.4+dfsg-1build4 python-qt4-sql=4.11.4+dfsg-1build4
6. apt-mark hold python-qt4 python-qt4-sql

Make sure you use two greater-than signs ( >> ) when adding to
source.list!
