Hello,
I am having some problems with my flashcard trainer MNEMOSYNE. Any help is much appreciated!!!
Yesterday I updated with :
sudo pacman -Syu
and saw that there is an qt update but I did not know that it affects mnemosyne. The error now is:
$ mnemosyne
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/mnemosyne", line 11, in <module>
from qt import *
RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v8.0 but the qt module requires API v7.0
Can someone give me some input on how to solve this issue. Thanks!

If the problem really is caused by Qt 4.7, then try downgrading to confirm it:

The problem is with the sip package which has been upgraded to 4.11.1-1 on 2010-10-07. Downgrading to sip 4.10.5-1 did help here.
I remember similar issues about a year (?) back. Eventually the packages will be in sync again. Perhaps a bug report would be in order.
Edit:
Judging from this older bug report it is most probably pyqt3 that needs a rebuild to match the new sip package. I do not have the time yet to do so but somebody could try and issue a new bug report accordingly.

I just got the time and rebuilt pyqt3 against the new sip package. Mnemosyne does now work again.
I issued an according bug report #21221. You may vote for it if the pyqt3 package won't be upgraded soon.

Sorry for bothering you again, but i followed the instrutions and made
pacman -Syu
yesterday, and the error message when I start mnemosyne is now
$ mnemosyne
File "/usr/bin/mnemosyne", line 104
except MnemosyneError, e:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
maybe i should write to the mnemosyne developers.
Thanks again and
ciao

I experienced this error, too. Thus I gave the anki package from community a try following the hint by bostonvaulter on the mnemosyne AUR page.
Judgeing from a few test runs anki indeed is an impressing replacement for mnemosyne. I was able to import all my mnemosyne decks into anki. Although I had to start the memorizing sequences from scratch, everything else appears to work. And anki is far more customizable than mnemosyne.
Perhaps you may want to give it a try, too.
Edit:
Anki obviously also imports the mnemosyne statistics. It was a misunterstanding that I had to start the memory sequences from scratch (i.e. with an empty statistic). Thus it really appears a full fledged replacement for mnemosyne.
