Retext running error

Help Section

Hi,
I’m installed Retext pkg for Markdown editing. It installed smoothly but when I try to run following exception occurs;

retext
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/retext", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('ReText==7.2.1', 'gui_scripts', 'retext')())

    return next(matches).load()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/importlib/metadata.py", line 77, in load
    module = import_module(match.group('module'))

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5.QtDBus'

Thanks for your advice.

There’s probably a mismatch between the default python version (3.8) and the py37-qt5-* packages. Try to upgrade your packages. Consult the errata for solutions to the problems that might occur.

Although I already did those steps, I did it again.
It didn’t work. Same error occurs.

retext depends on py38-qt5-dbus, but it is not listed as a dependency. Installing the package py38-qt5-dbus fixes the problem.

EDIT

The dependency for py38-markdown-math is also missing. Without it, previews don’t work.
