It seems I have the dependency installed but still have an import problem.
Do you have suggestions?

[samschott]

Hm, that is strange. How did you install PyQt5? And did you update it recently?

Also, does it only fail when run by Maestral, or also when you manually try to run from PyQt5 import uic?

If you are using your system's python, I would recommend installing PyQt5 through your system's package manager, e.g., sudo dnf install python3-PyQt5. On Fedora 29, this works without problems.

Yes I am running the newest version of maestral. Also I do have PyQt5 installed (DNF). But it seems I still got a problem. I will try to reinstall it.

Solved. I think some dependencies got uninstalled while I was removing unneeded software the last days. Strange that the dependency still seemed to be satisfied.

Works!
