Description Orcan Ogetbil 2019-08-03 22:40:08 UTC 
I came across this when trying to fix a FTBFS for libffado.
    BUILDSTDERR: Fatal Python error: PyQt5.QtCore: Unable to embed qt.conf
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=36780372
Note that another fix (scons->scons-2) is needed in the rawhide package to get to this stage.

The bug seems to be reported to and fixed upstream. Apparently it only affects python2:

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2019-08-05 14:11:29 UTC 
This should be fixed in the latest python-qt5 rawhide build,

%changelog
* Sun Aug 04 2019 Rex Dieter <rdieter> - 5.13.0-1
- 5.13.0
Comment 2 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2019-10-13 11:08:56 UTC 
With the latest updates, this now happens in F30:

$ mock -r fedora-30-x86_64
<mock-chroot> sh-5.0# python2 -c 'import PyQt5.QtCore'
Fatal Python error: PyQt5.QtCore: Unable to embed qt.conf
Aborted (core dumped)

Affected version:
python2-qt5-5.12.3-6.fc30.x86_64
Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2019-10-13 11:19:53 UTC 
The problem is that 5.13.0 is intended for Qt 5.13, and F30 (and even F31 and Rawhide, at this time) only has Qt 5.12, so PyQt5 was reverted to 5.12.3. So this bug is back now.
