+ Users will fail to open the preferences window to set their preferences.
+ The usual window will not be displayed instead the windows will have an error message:
  
  Caught exception:
    File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/main.py", line 882, in onPrefs
      aqt.dialogs.open("Preferences", self)
    File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/__init__.py", line 82, in open
      instance = creator(*args)
    File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/preferences.py", line 25, in __init__
      self.setupCollection()
    File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/preferences.py", line 80, in setupCollection
      f.lrnCutoff.setValue(qc['collapseTime']/60.0)
+ <class 'TypeError'>: setValue(self, int): argument 1 has unexpected type 'float'
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ install anki.
+ start anki
+ Click on Tools -> Preferences
+ 
+ If the package is not fixed the Prefenrences window will show the above
+ error.
+ 
+ With the fixed package, we can open the Preferences window after anki
+ has started.
+ 
+ Just to test anki still works:
+ 1. Click on "Create Deck" and create a deck
+ 2. Create a file in any folder with the content "what am I doing?;Testing SRU" or any content you want with text separated by semicolons.
+ 3. Click on File -> Import and select the text file created in above step.
+ 4. Click on the Deck name, and then click on "Study Now".
+ 5. It should show the question "what am I doing?"
+ 6. Click on "Show Answer", and it will show "Testing SRU".
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ The typecast to int of 'timeLim' might cause some change in the time
+ limit if the user tries to change that value in the preferences. Since
+ it is being divided by 60.0 so any value from 0 to 59 will result in the
+ 'timeLim' being set to 0. So, users who are using this range of value
+ may find the timelimit not working.
+ 
+ [ Other Info ]
+ 
+ The problem is because of the strict type checking in Python 3.10 and was fixed via https://launchpad.net/bugs/2004098
+ But that change missed one line in the preferences code, which resulted in this problem.
+ 
+ I have added this change in that old patch instead of creating a new
+ patch.
+ 
+ For Jammy:
+ https://launchpad.net/bugs/2004098 was not fixed in Jammy even though Jammy was impacted.
