Hi,

This was a bit tricky in fact, I should have mentionned that installing from the original sources caused some havoc (segfaults everywhere, but maybe I did something wrong).

I ended up using the karmic source packages of sip4 and python-qt4 you can find there and there:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/...4.8.1-0ubuntu1
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/...4.5.1-1ubuntu1

You can't simply use the binary packages built against a karmic system, they must be built against jaunty.

"sudo apt-get build-dep *package*" to install source dependencies
"dpkg-source -x *dsc file*" to extract a source package
"dpkg-buildpackage" to build the source package of the current dir
