First start Eric (Python IDE based on Qt5) shows:

XML parse error in file /home/[username]/.eric6/PluginRepository, line 1, column 50
Error: Expected ' ', but got '>'.


~/.eric6/PluginRepositorycontains:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<h1>Moved Permanently</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a href="https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/plugins7/repository.xml">here</a>.</p>
</body></html>


Eric installed from default openSUSE 15.5 repo as "eric" package version 19.04-bp155.2.59

Maybe patch to disable plugin retrieval, it eric7 plugins are not compatible with eric6?

Upstream does not support eric6 and its plugins anymore.
