Dangerzone segfaults on Fedora 39/40 about dangerzone HOT 4 CLOSED

Fedora happens to offer some official PySide6 packages for Fedora Rawhide (41).

I have tested the following packages in Fedora 39:

• python3-pyside6-6.6.2-1.fc41.x86_64.rpm
• python3-shiboken6-6.6.2-1.fc41.x86_64.rpm

With the latest Python3 3.12.3 and these packages, Dangerzone still does not work. Also, because Fedora 39 ships with Qt 6.6.2, only these packages can be tested.

I've also tested the following packages in Fedora 40:

• python3-pyside6-6.7.0-1.fc41.x86_64.rpm
• python3-shiboken6-6.7.0-1.fc41.x86_64.rpm

With the latest Python3 3.12.3 and these packages, Dangerzone works. However, I'm hesitant to include them in our repos, since they are built for a different OS version (Fedora 41). If any Fedora 40 user is affected by this issue, and they want to experiment 🧪 with this workaround, they can:

1. Download these files locally.
2. Install them and report back if Dangerzone works for them.

There's a promising update on Qt's bug tracker for this issue (PYSIDE-2747). As of May 18th, the Shiboken6 wheels no longer segfault on import. Most like a 6.7.1 release will fix this problem.

🥁 … And Pyside6 6.7.1 has just been released!

We have just updated our Dangerzone and PySide6 RPMs in order to fix this issue. More specifically, PySide6 6.7.1 fixes the segfault issue that our users are experiencing, and we now offer this package from our YUM repo.

Feel free to test them out and let us know if you encounter any problems.
