QProcess: Destroyed while process ("/usr/bin/python3") is still running.

[eric Bugs]

The observed issue is caused by trying to use the obsolete eric6 21.1
with Python 3.10 (which was release after eric6 21.1). The solution to
this issue is to use eric7.

Hi

There has been some progress.

Qscintilla 2.13.3 is entering unstable.

Trove-classifiers is in the queue for entering Debian:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/trove-classifiers

Eric7 is packaged on Salsa. Works but not ready for upload but will be as soon
as Trove-classifiers enters Debian
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/eric

Please download, build and test.

Regards
Gudjon
