Bug Description

[Impact]
* Because it is not possible to open the preferences menu, some functionality is not available to the user.
* The crash prevents that the state of the game is saved (data loss)
* A workaround exists (install python-qt4-gl and remove python-pyside.qtopengl), but that is not obvious to the user.
The bug is solved by a patch that removes the ability to run pybik with pyside and require pyqt4, the alternative dependencies on the python-pyside.* packages are removed.

[Test Case]
1) Install package "python-pyside.qtopengl"
2) Run pybik
3) Activate menu item "Edit -> Preferences"
4) If the bug is solved, the Preferences dialog is opened,
     else the program ends by a segmentation fault

[Regression Potential]
Minimal, only unnecessary functionality (run pybik with pyside) is removed in a leaf package.
Patch was made by the upstream author.

[Additional information]
Only the version in Raring is affected

Thank you for the bug report,

this seems to me a problem in pyside.
As a workaround you can do:
 * install the package python-qt4-gl
 * remove the package python-pyside.qtopengl (it is unlikely that some other software on your computer is using it)

Looks like this is fixed in 1.1-1 release in Debian. Should we sync that version instead?

Pybik 1.1 runs fine with Raring.

I created a bzr branch:
 * merged version 1.1-1ubuntu1 from Saucy to get the fix for the autopkgtest,
 * Changed recommends python3-icu to the raring package name python3-pyicu (see LP: 1200419)

Sorry, I was confused by the bug status. It is fixed in Saucy, isn't it?

I can upload your fix with Martin's changes added, but uploading a new release that uses a different interpreter is a no-no for SRUs.

I don't know how the bug status should look like.
The version in Saucy is ok, this bug is only for Raring and the only change needed is in the attached minimal debdiff.

Marking the Saucy task as Fix Released. I hope I'll be able to upload the Raring debdiff tomorrow.
