Problems with lphoto

[Danny Pansters]

FYI:

lphoto depends on py-kde, not just py-qt. It doesn't depend on py-qt4.
But more importantly, it never worked well (anything useful with hardware 
never worked) and over time it got more and more broken. I did look at the 
shipwreck a few months ago but decided to let it sink.

This port should be *removed* unless someone gives it a lot of love.

I'm not familiar with eric, but perhaps it's using qscintilla for qt3?
